I have seen a lot of good suggestions below, so I thought I might add my 2 cents worth. This would be my picks of haying tractors under $3,000
IH tractors can be had for well under your costs. I would suggest as others a 300 through 560 with a fast hitch. My personal suggestion would be a 560 diesel. This is the most modern of the bunch and is big small enough to do the work and big enough if you grow.
In an allis I would go with a d-14 through d17. More modern than the WD's and very good tractors
In fords andy of the 600/800 series and clear up into the 3000 and 4000 can sometimes be bought for your budget. These are great tractors for what you are looking for, even though I am not a ford man.
Massy also has good tractors models 35 to 65.
I don't really know enough about the others except for JD and I cant really think of a good JD that will do the work and fit into your price range unless maybe the JD's from the late 50's, and they are probably a bit pricy for what you get.
The reasons for my choices is that they all to the point of being fairly modern, all have live PTO, live hydralics, 3 point hitch or readily avialable conversions, are fairly reliable and easily repaired and most improtantly can be had for your budget.
