Guess I would keep looking, as well. That parade Ford won't be fit for parades anymore after a season of hay making, and it will be worth 3 grand, just like the rest of them. JD's will be a little spendy, but I'd look at utility type Internationals, AC's, Fords or my personal favorite, the Oliver 550. Also the Oliver 77's and 88's- great tractors for baling. But usually no 3 point.
Someone mentioned IH 504- I've got one, an ugly old thing, diesel with loader, that I paid $2,500 for at an auction. Its been a great old tractor- would fit your operation perfectly. Its going to my daughter and SIL's recently purchased horse farm, on "permanent" loan.
I'd try for one with a loader, as well- once you have a loader tractor on a hobby farm, you'll wonder how you ever did without one.
Live or Independent PTO is sure nice to have, as well, for baling- in fact, it would be a "must" for me.

Probably want to stick with gas if you're in a cold winter area- the older diesels can be a bear to start when its cold.

He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
