wow. A HUGE thanks to everyone who posted such detailed information. I'm in Huntsville, AL and we have hardcore clay soil here. I will take all your suggestions into consideration. Sounds like I'll probably want to get a 30-ish hp w/backhoe and FEL (maybe fork bucket). My dad is an engineer for CNH (employee discount) so I'll probably go the Ford route in terms of tractor brand. Thanks again, and I'll be sure to update my experiences as I move forward. I'm gonna have to chew through all this info over the next few hours.

Eddie Walker, you mentioned hiring a guy w/a chipper. How large a tree/stump can those normally handle?
