THANKS A LOT to all of you for the great feedback so far.

Here is some more info:
1) My budget is limited. Initially, I thought I could get a decent tractor with a loader, brush hog, box gear and a post hole digger for $5,000 - $6,000. I soon realized that it was not realistic.
I have now a total budget of $10,000 - $12,000 for the tractor and the above mentioned implements.
2) I live in North Texas and, fortunately, we don't need to deal with snow -:)!
3) There are a lot of trees and weeds on the property and I will need to clean it up very well. So, I think the brush hog and loader with the bucket are a must.
4) I have no plan for any heavy farming as it is a too small land for any real farming and I have a full-time job. But I plan to put some goats on the property to help me keep the weeds under control.
5) I also noticed that the very old tractors have no ROPS which is very important to someone like me with no experience with driving and operating a tractor
6) As it can really get very hot in Texas in summer time, I prefer a tractor with a cab and AC.
7) I am inclined to buy a used tractor from a local dealer to make sure that I get some help if the tractor breaks down.

Any thoughts would greatly be appreciated.

Thank you all again!

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
