There's a Kubota B6100 with a front end loader upstate for $5.5K. It's at one of those dealers people here have alluded to which is probably a lot better than trying to buy something from an owner who (who knows) didn't take care of their machine. Good advice there so I'll have to travel up there soonish and check them out.
I haven't seen any ads locally for any of the other machines people listed in this thread but I've only been looking for a couple of months when I've had the time. There was a Case at one point and an Alice Chalmers at another but I don't remember the model number.
I could increase my budget and save up for a brand new machine or several year old machine. I was thinking about that earlier when I was digging up topsoil in my yard after work with a shovel... I thought to myself wouldn't this be great if I had a mini-backhoe and not just a bucket loader. There's something to be said for getting a recent model with access to a wide array of attachments versus trying to jerry-rig something to an older machine. Anyway, I'm still young and healthy as they say so I'll use a shovel and wheelbarrow until something better comes my way. Great exercise too. :)
By the way, I can't find right now who wrote this, but what (kind of) tractors are better than others in terms of differential lock or getting traction on wet or clay soils? Or is it basically anything after a certain year? We've got rocky soil in CT but also lots of land near or on filled-in former wetlands (which I've walked on once recently-- very disconcerting!).

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.
