At a guess your land clearing and driveway/road building projects will be "first up".
Unlikely that I would tar them (for a while) and I wouldn't want to sling gravel around with a snow blower.
Front mounted blowers are expensive anyway, so with the above in mind I would pass on that.
A rear combination rake with drop down blade would have a lot more general use, regrading and re-crowning gravel road, dragging/shoving snow, etc.
Similar thought on a back hoe.
For that size tractor, probably big bux and if/when needed I would hire in a mini-ex (and probably its operator to get the job DONE and done quick).
Other spending opportunities ?
Grapple, assuming you will be cutting/clearing.
Stump grinder, if you want to clear to "pasture".
Take this for true; digging stumps is for chumps, the first one may be a novelty, second and third may be challenges, after that NO FUN and there are better things to do in life.
According to what you do longer term, post hole digger... maybe.
Yes to the Branson, though you could go quite a bit smaller without sacrificing function, e.g. my own 42 HP Kukje (Branson & Century are merely emblem engineered Kukje tractors) would be more than adequate.
No to JD - - anything from them is merely a green and yellow contract bought Asian tractor at a HUGE brand name mark-up.
Not sure of the model number equivalents, but some are the "same" as the Bransons with different decor - made in the same Kukje factory in South Korea.
I would probably get a good set of chains for it (& I did for mine)
EDIT:
Just read through the HST vs geared comments - inevitable I guess.
Lets put this out there yet again.
ONE thing that SOME folk seem to do in the back of their mind is to associate "geared tractors" with "Manual transmission" cars/trucks.
While it is true that both have clutch pedals and shift levers (several in the case of tractors) that is about where the similarity ends.
It can be intimidating to be faced with a geared tractor if all you have ever driven is automatic transmission cars/trucks, I get that.
With a geared tractor you do NOT have to (learn to) shift up and down through the gears as speed changes, i.e. the DRIVING is nothing like the driving of a manual trans car/truck.
You select a range with one lever, a gear with another and usually forward/reverse with a third - once rolling that is it, you stay in that gear and range until you stop.
A couple of other levers that some HST tractors have; 1) 4/2 wheel drive 2) Differential lock.
==================
afterthought;
About those basketball sized rocks that you might want to dig out, that doesn't take a back hoe.
If you will be getting pallet forks for building construction purposes, set them with a gap equal to about 3/4 the width of what you are trying to dig out.
Raise the loader, point the forks down and into the ground just in front of the rock/boulder, press HARD, curl/dump a couple of times for penetration if you need to, then curl and pry it out.
