There is dealer support for most tractors. You really will have to check out local dealers. I have no idea what is near you, but again I emphasize that it's best to get a tractor with local support.
Re hydraulics: That can be a little complicated. One system for loaders is to have a separate hydraulic pump running of the front of the crankshaft. There will be a separate tank built into the loader frame to hold hydraulic oil. It's a good system, leaving the tractor hydraulics to handle the power steering(don't get a loader tractor without Power steering), remote hydraulics, and 3 point hitch.
The other loader system uses the tractor's built in hydraulics to operate the loader. Late model tractors have big enough pumps to handle loaders, early ones except John Deeres and maybe some I H tractors, did not. Older tractors with no front pump would have slow acting loaders. I have been told that the 5000 Ford recommended above needed the external hydraulic pump for loader work, but I have no personal experience with it. The 5000 Ford is a really great, classic tractor otherwise and holds resale value well. The IH tractor mentioned above is a big heavy duty tractor and probably has enough hydraulics, but I don't have any experience with it either.
Both the IH and Ford mentioned have Independent pto BTW.
