Find out about the local dealers. If for example, he's 12 miles away but has another store/repair facility and everything goes to the other store so even if a part is in stock you have to drive an extra 45 miles to pick it up or wait until tomorrow it's no good. That's the story with AGCO in this area. JD and CaseIH are both 25 miles but have parts on hand for many things. So here your best pick would be JD or CaseIH/IH/Ford/NH. I really like a couple of the MF utility style tractors but would just about have to get one for free to make it worth my while because of the dealer.
For 5K you can get into a Ford 2000/3000 in most areas with some pocket change left over. Some of the IH tractors would fit that bill too. JD's seem to bring a little more money. If 5K is your limit what about implements? If that included in the 5K or is there an extra budget for that? If you are going to have to get implements out of that 5K you can just about forget a rototiller. They are not cheap. Plus most tractors in that budget will not move slow enough at engine PTO speeds to use the tiller. You can buy or make roll bars for some of the older tractors. On any of the AC's you have to make sure that it stays in gear, all gears, most older tractors transmission gears are NLA. Try each gear, going down hill, wide open throttle. Then jerk the throttle back to idle. If the tranny is bad it will jump out of gear. Can be really bad to free wheel with a loaded wagon behind you.
Check your local CL listings. Here a MF, Ford, JD, White, IH, Case utilities brings top dollar. You can buy an IH 460 or 560 row crop for half the money of any of the post 1960 utilities. So check you options and prices in your local area.
