Before you do buy a tractor, post the make and model number on here and get some reviews.
While most tractors are good, there were a few bad apples from every manufacturer. Whether intentional or not some people will do their best to convince a potential buyer that it is a good tractor, when in reality, it might not be.
With that being said, it's best to just post what you are considering and I'm sure lots of people will chime in.
One thing I would be looking for, if I were you... Look for a tractor that won't limit you.
For example, some of the older IH tractors had something called "fast hitch" or 2 point hitch. They do make 3 point adapters for it, but, it's not as universal. Same goes for a lot of older Allis Chalmers tractors. They had something called a snap-coupler hitch. If you buy either of these types of tractors, you need specifically dsign equipment to pull behind them.
The standard is 3 point hitch.
Another thing to look for are remote valves. You want to have as many of those as possible, and if you do buy a tractor with a loader, make sure the loader isn't running off the rear remotes.
Power steering is also important if you plan on a loader. independent PTO, and the ability to switch between 540 and 1000 rpm PTO is handy, too.
The whole point is to make sure you can do as much as possible with one machine. If you don't, you'll become a tractor hoarder like me. It's a disease.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
