In what general part of the world are you located? Do you have a "not to exceed" budget in mind?
I am confused with: "Possibly, in the future, make hay in between wide orchard rows with small hay equipment. Will need to fit in 10-12 foot row spacing if possible." What type orchard? What average foliage spread from the plant base? To me row spacing is from the root stem, not tips of foliage, I would not consider 10-12 foot row spacing wide, but narrow. Even trimmed and trellised I would think travel area would be down to 8 feet or less, without brushing the plants. At that spacing I think you will have trouble trying to make hay even with small equipment, especially hooked to a tractor of the size required for your other needs. Maybe you will need a second tractor, small, for some of your work.
Light weight, loader, pulling a 3,000 - 4000 (+) trailer can be in conflict. Is the terrain flat or hilly? Any wet spots? Depending on what you spray in the future, you may want a environmental cab tractor, or you will be suited up in protective raingear and and full face respirator, not fun in hot, humid weather. Just some thoughts.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
