While I dearly love the John Deere 730LP I grew up on, it is simply too big and heavy to be remotely practical, not to mention is that it is SLOW!
I want something with a wide front for general stability and ease of trailer loading but, I really don't know much about these small ag tractors or really where to start my search and learning process.
Basically, I want something that is an over grown 'golf cart' with a little historic value that is easy to maintain and is reliable. I am ambivalent about a hand crank option but, think it would be a good idea for shows in Minnesota. I should note I live in East Texas and grew up in Oklahoma wheat fields.
The little Allis Chalmer options seem to be in the ~$2500 range which seems popular around me. In the upper MidWest corn country, little International tractors seem super popular. Something like a John Deere GP might be an option as well. What I really can't figure out are the older Case tractors, which I have am some affinity too from my youth on 930's just like the JD 730LP 'Wheatland' or standard tractor.
The Prewar gasoline tractors, on rubber, are where my primary interest is at the moment but, post-WW2 tractors have their merits as well and are probably a better option for me due to general parts availability and general support.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
