Don't need a lot of power for these, nimble and maneuverable little thing seems better.
-I also want to possibly use:
-A loader
Those are so handy! You won't know how you got along without. Again, nimble maneuverable tractor..... The compact front wheel assist tractors are really nice with a loader. You want live hydraulics for using a loader, some tractors older than the 1960s don't have that.
Older loaders are one way acting, trip bucket. Means the loader comes down by gravity, and you pull a rope to dump the loader no real control of slowly dumping it - more work. The newer loaders the hydraulics power the loader up, power the loader down, and also tilt the bucket for dumping slowly.
-Hay spike (pretty rarely)
That takes a little bigger tractor. Bales come in different sizes, a little 27 hp can handle some bales on the 3pt, need about 50hp to handle the biggest round bales. If you want to use the loader to lift round bales high, that takes a heavier, more powerful tractor. You don't want the tail wagging the dog!
-Blade/Use a loader for snow on the driveway
Heavier tractor with good ag tires can do more hard pulling, always a balance with other uses. If you ever want to use a snow blower, you need a real slow reverse gear and a live or independent pto is pretty well necessary.
-Pull things
Bigger tractors can pull bigger things, smaller tractors fit in smaller spots.
-Possibly Rototill
Now this needs a tractor with real slow forward gears, and a live pto is a whole lot better to have.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
