About the only way you are gonna be able to afford what you need in that price range is to buy something nobody else wants. This could be a basket case project or one of the ill liked romanian , czeckoslovakian, or russian imports, or even an abused Kioti. Be prepared to spend more time than you would want rebuilding hydraulics, mopping up leaks, and general tinkering, along with waiting for parts. How mechanical are you? How good are you at auctions? Are you resourceful? Can you make missing parts using what you have in your shop?
I just picked up a four wheel drive, 35 horsepower diesel basket case for a song. But... and this is a big but... I will have to invest a lot of time in it to get it useable. Thanks to some great help and resources here, it will run and farm again. But if farming was my sole source of income, I woulda taken out a loan and bought a new Massey. With your smaller acreage you may be able to get away with an orphan, too....Just don't expect people to stop by and compliment you on your taste in tractors!
