Size does matter.
I can't use a big tractor in the woods and mowing unter trees and the like.
I have a Ford 3000.
A Ferguson 35 and Ford 3000 are comparable tractors
3000 wheel base = 75"
35 wheel base = 72"
3000 total length = 127"
35 total length = 117"
Compare a 52 hp Ford 4000
4000 wheel base = 84.5"
4000 total length = 137"
Compare a 60 hp 5000
5000 wheel base = 87.5
5000 total length = 141"
And a 5000 weighs most of two tons more than a Fergie 35.
I'd love to have a 5000 but it is just Waaay too big for my purposes.
Even the 4000 I had was just too big, - too long, too tall - I did like the features it had but it was just too big for my purposes which are similar to yours.
One other thing to consider, a catagory II tractor would bust up all your cat I implements.
I do well enough busting up stuff with my 37 hp 3000.
