Sounds like you know what you want. Your price range would be for a used "major" brand or possibly new chinese tractor. While your 4000 is not a huge tractor, a 35 hp or more compact would be a "younger brother". You mention nimbleness, the JD large compacts turning circle is maybe a foot bigger than the midsize. For hilly slopes, I recommend hydrostatic tranny, R1 tires and 4wd. These will keep the price at the high end of your budget. I think a JD 4710 would really fit your bill but I don't think they have come down that low yet, you might get lucky.
