Congratulations! I hope that you have fun with it.
Do you have any reason to believe that the terrain is reasonable cropland in general and for alfalfa in particular?
I used to grow alfalfa, and that looks like more than challenging terrain. I might make the suggestion that you share crop it with an experienced farmer and then make your decision on equipment. That much "roll" will be hard to mow over and it will be hard to gather hay, and someone experienced at it can probably give you a few ideas on how to, and how not to, cope with it.
You might look into slope capable tractors for general use around the land, like Aebi, or Power-trac, but they are not traditional tractors and do not do well, at things like plowing. The Aebi has a lot more power, useful for heavy work on steep slopes, and a price tag to match.
All the best,
Peter
