I am like most on here, 60-80 range would be good for you. Yes a 100+ is chaper per hp, but will be big and hard to get around on a small farm. Nothing like ride"n round plow"n on a 60 year old 20 hp, but some times that gets old when you have to get stuff done and they are giv"n rain for the next day. If you are going to stick with one tractor, look for somthing made mid 70"s early 80"s in the 60-80 hp range. Equipment for these are most of the time cheap. You can get a 10foot disk for about the same money as a 6. Just as an example I raise 4 acres of tobacco and have 65 acres of hay/pasture with a 6700 ford. It is big enough to pull a 3-16 plow, does not get pushed down hills infront of a 605C baler, and is small enough I do not feel dumb plow"n tobacco or rake"n hay with it.(I have got a ford 960 just for these task but that is because I have always wanted one, not because I needed it.) So many people around home think they need a 100 or so hp tractor of a certin color just to raise a garden and mow thier 5 acre horse pasture, it is just over kill. Just my think"n.
