Buying Advice Out with new in with old

[JMER]

Hi all, I've had a kubota l3200 for the last three years and loved it. I used it to do clearing, grading, putting in our lawn etc. and got most of it done. I don't need it near as frequently and can't justify the monthly cost anymore so just sold it (man did that hurt, woke up this morning 3 hrs early with a massive headache lol) and now looking for something $10k or under to use for spot duty as chores come up. Here is what I'll be doing:
brush clearing
Grading, putting some more lawn in (maybe 3/4 acre over 2 spots)
Mulching
Hauling wood
Aerating lawn
I have 2 1/2 acres and am considering older kubotas, NH and Fords (1720 and 1920). I know I want 4x4 with FEL and want something closer in weight and capability to my l3200 than a bx series.
So my question is: what brands and models would be good to look at in this range along with attachments? I'm fine with an ugly tractor as long as it doesn't need constant repairs. I'm no diesel mechanic, that's for sure.

I meant to also ask:
What models of the older B kubotas have a quick attach bucket? I may consider using tractor to mow if I find one with a MMM but would want quick attach bucket if so.

A L3200 would be just about perfect, if you can find a good used one....

I can understand that you were thinking to lower costs but I would have finished more of the improvements before selling. That said and the deed done I think you will have to lower your sights and settle for less bells and whistles. There are lots of older good tractors most are 2wd and gear (crash box) for $5000 and up.
