You're in the right ballpark--an 8N or similar would do everything you describe, and parts are readily available. They're also lower than a Farmall C, H, etc. which sounds like a good thing for your application. I grew up on a 50-cow dairy farm (usually 25-30 milkers and a few young stock) and for many years our "big" tractors were IH 300 utilities. We finally stepped up to a JD 2240 (50 hp) and from there to a JD 5400 (60 hp, 4x4), which is plenty of tractor for anything we needed to do on 200 acres. As has been mentioned, the MF 135 is also an excellent little tractor, and there are several others that would work just fine in the $2,000--5000 ballpark.
