If you're looking at older then a later model Ford 4000 AP is as small as I'd want a loader mounted on. The smaller tractors and the 4000 SU had a light duty, swept back front axle that is prone to breaking under a loader and also shortens the wheelbase so much that the tractors are very poorly balanced for loader work. The 4000 is heavier and more durable. If no loader then a 3000 would be fine. The 4000 also comes with much more reliable wet brakes and wet PTO clutch.
If you want to go newer, I'd strongly suggest MFWD and preferably a 3910/3930 or 4610/4630 Ford. All quite functional and reliable if not abused too badly. All have syncro or shuttle transmission and much higher flow hydraulic options than the 4000/4600 models.
