Jay,

I have a MF255 and like it very well. The MF165 is a very good choice along with a 4000 or 5000 series Ford. If you plan to move a great deal of hay say with 5x5 rolls or larger go with the 165 or 4000. These will cost about the same as the 2 tractors you mentioned for the same reasons others have already stated. Now if you really want the smaller tractors and will only move a few bales the others haven't mentioned but I will a hay caddy or dolly that will hook to your draw bar or pickup bumper. There is a "Tumble Bug" that will run about $800 to $1,000 new and these units do work well. Since they are caddies they don't stress your lift system. Since you have 30 acres and if you only want or can afford one tractor I would try to get a MF255 or 165 or a Ford 4000 or 4600. Good luck.
