Here's a real wrench to toss in the works, did you ever consider a front end loader like a Cat 920 or 930 sized machine ? I find that a loader is really a very handy thing to have, and having spent time in the seat as an operator of both ag and heavy construction equipment, I've been pondering grabbing one of these so I don't have to put the wear on the little compact with a loader. The trade off is you won't be doing any drawbar or pto work with one of these, so your $$ is tied up for something that just does loader work, but boy they are heavy duty and you can get through some muck with em and forks, grapples etc. can be had for them, as well as a side dump bucket which is really handy. Great for snow removal too. Late model are quite expensive, but the older ones are out there, just have to make sure the pins and bushings are not worn out, trans is good, line boring and re-building pins/bushings is not cheap either. In my instance I can turn over compost and handle the material so it really makes sense, because it makes money and it seems like they can be had for 15K-30K last I looked. They will do anything a large ag tractor with a loader will do and then some, figured I'd mention it, something a little different to consider, all depends on ones needs and where the $$ can be tied up.
