Sean;
Congratulations on your new land. Be careful with the small 4x4 diesel tractors. I bought a Ford 1210 4x4 diesel, hydrostatic.
The rear tires are loaded with calicum. Its a fine tractor until I bought the Woods Loader and Farmi Chipper for it. With the front end loader carying a load you want to keep it just off the ground. The same with the chipper 540# on the 3 point hitch. The tractor wants to tip over real quick on uneven ground. Its a bad experience to fell/see a rear wheel come up off the ground.
If you are going to get implements, go with a larger tractor and wide wheel stance.
