This will sting a little but I will say it anyway.
Do you really NEED a tractor for your hobby farm, or do you really just WANT one? You've posted that you need one, so I suppose that you really do. Far more want rather than need. A loader on a tractor is one handy piece of equipment that can save a lot of back breaking work. Truth be known however, how many really use one all that much on a hobby farm that is up and running on an even keel? The savings from purchasing a loader tractor might allow you to buy more tractor initially. Can you get by with a 3 pt. crane on the back for lifting?
Can a rear scoop move the dirt you need rather than having a loader do it? Those little Fords are so much fun to use and are so loveable, however most are really over priced for the amount of work they can do easily. Want or need could also be asked of many implements also. Dollar expenditure vs. hand labor. Would digging 10 post holes a year justify a several hundred dollar digger to save hand labor? Want vs. need. Only you can figure that out from your own situation. After all, we boys do tend to NEED our fair share of toys.
