Depends on how valuable your time is. Honestly if you're looking at tilling the land IE all 300 acres, then I would look at something around 100 hp tractors at the drawbar. Yeah you can get by with something like a 560 or something like that but it won't be super fast going. A 806 is probiably the base where I'd start looking. Not to mention in your parts of the country it will be alot easier to find parts for the larger impliments than it will the smaller stuff. Somebody else might have another opinion on this but that's my take on it.
Also wanted to add, obviously the less land your tending the less tractor you would really need. Technically you could do with with a Farmall H or M (many folks did it for many years) but you won't be getting it done. Being you are doing this in conjunction with your regular job you gotta get in get out get it done and have as few mechanical problems as possibly (although I believe that Murphy was also farmer which is why we have his laws to go by)

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
