I'm looking for a tractor, but don't know exactly what I need.
I use my dad's Ford 600 tractor (34hp?) for most things around here currently. I am planning on getting another tractor, but don't know which way to go, bigger, or smaller. The old Ford has no FEL, so it is not greatly useful. I bushhog with it, and scrape the driveway, sometimes yard some logs. I'd like a tractor that I could load logs with, on a small trailer, nothing bigger than 20" with forks.
I have big hills that are wet a lot on the place here.
I was thinking of something in the 28-35hp 4x4 range. But that is almost exactly what I have. Albeit I understand I'll have more traction with the 4x4.
But would the old Ford be better for baling hay than a similarly hp'd compact?
I've seen the pic that (sorry I can't remember your name) has of a Kioti with a bunch of wood in the FEL.
Could I yard and load logs with a 20hp tractor? I'm primarily looking at Mahindra and Kioti, but I'm open to others if someone has some good info for me.
I appreciate any help.

Thanks for any advice.
