I am aware you stated new, but a used small utility tract or a used industrial tractor may serve you better and be cheaper to purchase. the down fall is that the most affordable don't have 4wd, and may take more repair than new.
Because I spent most of my career repairing MF those are the ones I am familiar with. MF started in the late 40's and then slightly changed by adding a 2 speed to the transmission which has been used at5 least thru the 90's if not longer. Available from 38 hp and up. Most have a very fuel efficient Perkins diesel.
My starting recommendation would be the 135, 150, 165, 175, those were built in 60', then came the 230, 245, 240, 250. I do not recommend the 235 due to steering box issues. On the industrial models the 20, 30, 40 with letters following the models. On industrials just be sure they are equipped with 3 point and pto.
As for other brands I am not familiar with their models.
Here are some links that may help.
