You want something with live pto, live hydraulics, hydraulic remote scv's, 3 point hitch, power steering or loader work will be miserable. Diff lock is good too. You want a factory or approved,tested aftermarket rops. Home made rops are only good for mounting umbrellas.
Fuel efficiency isn't going to mater as you won't even see the extra 5 gallon a year a fuel hog would burn vs an econo box. More fuel than that gets spilled and evaporates from the tank.
Steer away from the Ford N series that every Tom Dick and Harry will try to pawn off onto you.
It isn't going to cost yourself anything to walk through the local dealerships. And price plain basic discount units such as the Deere 4003,4005. Costs about the same to purchase an old clunk and keep repairing it vs. payments on something fairly new.
Right now the hobby sized tractors have more sellers than buyers.
