This all depends on how much you want to spend. JD and Fords are towards the top of the price range followed by Farmalls. Then probably Allis Chalmers,Massey,Oliver and MMs. If you want a JD a 50 or 60 would be plenty big enough. They have live pto and hydraulics and you can get a 3pt conversion for them or make your own. Good tractors bring $1500-$3000 and conversions about another $500. Ford 600-900s seem like good tractors but not all are live power. They also bring from $2500-$4500 here. AC models would be D14,D15 and D17s. You should be able to find one for around $2000 if you look a little. D17s bring less than the 14s and 15s cause they made more of them. Although a D17 series IV will be around $4000 or more. I think for the money Oliver and Massey are a good deal. Just parts might not be a readily available. An Oliver 77 or 88 has live power and some have live hydraulics. You have to look to make sure it doesn't have a mechanical lift instead. You can convert them but it costs alot. I've seen them go for $750-$1500. Massey 44s had live pto and hydraulics as an option as well as a 3pt. I've seen them go from $650-$1400. I seen 3 massey 444s, 2 gas with wfs and ran good go for $1200 each and a diesel nf stuck go for $600. Best thing is to test drive the tractor before you buy. Try to start it while cold, run till hot and then start it when hot also. Just about any tractor make will get the job done.
