I am also not sure why 100 HP is the magic number, many farms "here" use 60 - 80 HP size tractors to handle round bale silage, some of those bales can be almost a ton.
One dairy farm was using a CIH 495 2wd w/allied loader for all their loader work including round bale silage....traded for a CIH C60 fwa w/alo loader, stayed with smaller tractor but got fwa.
I've handled 4x4 round (hay) bales with our 495 2wd w/2200, no extra rear weight (rears are loaded though) and it wasn't tipsy or light.
A 484/485/495/3220 is a three plow tractor "here" we pull 3 x 12" with ours in clay sod.
A 784 is certainly a capable tractor with a great heritage. Wouldn't worry about fwa unless you are in mud and snow lots, in any case you can't go wrong on a loader tractor with fwa....
$15K "here" would be a quite reasonablel for a "late" 784 fwa w/2250 loader and decent hours.

I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
