The height of your shed doors will determine if a row crop tractor will work for you, 9 foot or better is needed for most row crops to drive into a shed without the operator having to duck down.
Three point hitches and good power steering were not common before the late 1950s to mid 1960s except for Ford and Ferguson.
In today's market $4,000 for a tractor and loader might limit you to 1960s gas tractors, as diesel will add $1,000 or more. If you don't run them several hundreds of hours per year the fuel cost is not excessive and they do start well in cold temperatures. Is your acreage 5 acres or 500 acres?
Buying a tractor and loader together is almost always much cheaper than buying them separately. A row crop tractor will be cheaper and built much heavier than most utility tractors of the same horse power. If you are looking for cheap horse power Case Comfort King 730, 830, and 930 (a big cheap diesel) have real three point hitch and are about the cheapest to buy. Their ergonomics and features are not great, but they are simple and reliable especially if you need to DIY repairs. If the tractor will eventually be relegated to snow pusher duty they may be all you need. IMHO, stay away from Case-O-Matic.
Tire chains, snow bucket and a Heat Houser are great to have if not necessities.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
