A JD 1020 would do all of what you mentioned EXCEPT the 10 foot disk in loose ground. It is a 38 HP tractor. unless you have a very light disk it would work it in plowed ground. It would run with 2-14 plows if they are mounted. Drill and snow blade would not be an issue either.
Just run the tractor. Listen to the hydraulics. idle the tractor down after you have it running a few minutes. Drop the lift arms down and then lift them all the way up fast. If they raise smoothly then all is well with the hydraulics. If they chatter up then there could be problems. That could be as simple as just needing a new filter and sump screen cleaned. It also could mean the charge pump is bad or one of the internal steel lines is broke.
Sum up on a JD 1020. If the hydraulics are in good shape they are a rugged little tractor. If they have hydraulic issues then you need experience with JDs hydraulics systems to fix them in a reasonable time and cost. The hydraulic system on a JD Mannheim designed tractor, is NOT the place to learn to work on JD hydraulic systems. If you misdiagnose the problem you can waste/spend a lot of money/time fast.
