There are good used deals out there but it takes time to find them. For example last April I bought a Mahindra 2615 (220 hrs) with FEL, canopy, quick hitch, Rhino 5' rc, 5' Woods tiller, PHD with 2 augers, middle buster, 6' bb, boom pole, and 18' trailer with brakes and fold up ramps for $14,500. I helped a friend buy a Mahindra 2816 (77 hrs) with FEL and 5' bb for $11,500 this past fall. I looked for year and there are some unreal prices out there and some junk but if you want to save a few bucks it can be done. Good luck finding the right tractor for your needs at a price you feel comfortable with.
