Well first, welcome to the forum, you will find a wealth of information here!! I am an IH guy so I'll have to recommend an IH but I am also partial to Ford so here we go. If your looking for a great all around utility tractor I personally don't think you can beat an IH 656. It has more enough power for you, category 2/1 3 point hitch, independent hydraulics, power steering, PTO, 60hp, wide front(some have narrow front end), and you can find them in both gas and diesel. If you go with something smaller (400,450,460,560) your looking at a fast hitch and less hp, don't get me wrong I LOVE these smaller machines but it just sounds like your looking for that bigger all around tractor. If your a Ford guy you could look at the Ford 861 power master (it's an 8n on steroids) or you could go to the 3 cylinder diesels in the Ford 3000 or 4000 from the mid 1960's to the early 1970's. Gear vs. hydro is your preference but there are more gear tractors than hydros available and I believe (not 100% sure) you lose a bit of hp with a hydro... as far as a loader, i'd go with something heavy like a 656 if your looking for loader power. Hope this helps a little, best of luck, keep the questions coming, and post some pictures when you finally get something!
