Toothbar is more like "TEETH" they stick out about 4" each and they are usually spaced about every 4 to 5" apart, several aftermarket sources for those, and any dealer who sells tractors will sell them.

Most brands only offer 4wd in the smaller tractor sizes! And it is the only way you will get the tractor through that wet low spot you have.
Your best bet is to try several different tractors and see what you like best. Lots of brands have been mentioned, but we have no idea what is in your area.
As you are new to all of this I would strongly urge you to look over the dealer very carefully. When checking out the shops, don't assume the biggest dealer is the best, but look around and make sure the dealer has an ample parts department with a couple long term employees who know what they are talking about and can help you out. Consider the service area and see if they have factory certified or trained people working back there. Check out their reputation with some of your neighbors, freinds, etc. Sometimes the dealership can make your life miserable if they don't offer the support you need so consider them carefully.
An earlier poster commented that these little things can do a lot and I'd like to second that opinion. A small tractor will do more than you might think, these are very capable machines so you may well find you won't lose out on anything by sticking with a small tractor.
