TripleR, I cut a littler over $19,000 worth of billets using a two cord billet trailer and a 2WD ford 6610. At first I tried pulling the trailer with my 4WD pickup, but it could not handle it. I had no trouble pulling the loaded 10,000 to 12,000 trailer with the Ford.
I plan on getting a 1000 gallon water wagon to irrigate the pond levies. I do not think the 4000 series tractor will pull the 9000 pounds up the incline where the billet trailer was pulled from.
Oddball, at 60, my lungs are ate up with asbestos, my right leg needs a knee replacement, so I can sleep for about two hours at a time. The pain!
On the hat, my brother filed a law suit on me over the way my mother wrote her will. Imagine that! We finally settled after a year and a half. Now, we have the land to divide. If this goes to court, it could drag on for two to three years. So…I’ll have plenty of time to change hats (look at tractors).

Thanks for the clarification as I wasn't clear on your needs.
We are close in age and physical abilities and quit using open station tractors about a year ago and put them all out where my brothers use them. I like them, but just can't breath using them and am sick for days. I sometimes even use a mask in a cab.
Due to our farms, terrain, woods etc. having two tractors makes it much easier, but it's not for everyone.
As to your inheritance issues, I feel for you, we formed an LLC with a "Transfer on Death" to our heirs, so they won't have a lot of legal stuff and no misunderstandings.
