I did the same thing as you are about to do, move back to the country to raise my kids. Not sure of you budget but you may want more than one tractor, especially with 6 kids. What I did was first bought a Ford 8N. It did what I needed it too but it was too small for some jobs and no live power. I then bought a Bobcat skid steer with a bucket, forks and PHD. Later I added a backhoe and many other attachments. Then I bought a JD 4700 (48 HP) hydro with FEL and 7 foot dozer blade. I use a 7 foot finish mower that it plays with and the hydro makes it easy to maneuver. It will go backwards as fast as forward.
My recommendation, If you have the money, is to buy a compact Hydro tractor that has a dealer near you. My JD has been trouble free for over 20 years. So no need to work on it other than the normal scheduled servicing.
