  Selecting proper tractor

Looking for input on proper tractor selection. Just bought 18 acre homeplace now grazing cattle. Soil is sand/clay mix in Texas. Loader and bale spear would be needed. Post holer would be a 'nice to have', not a need to have.

Is 45 horse appropriate?
Would want enough power that some acreage could go under the till if necessary for hay.

Have had chance to operate a smaller JD diesel with tiller, mower and loader. Liked their 4 wheel hydro, hydraulics were strong but not too smooth, excellent fuel economy, but a full bucket of sandy loam could cause a nose dive easily with the bucket at 4-5 feet.

Need some serious guidance from some veterans here.

  Selecting proper tractor

Really appreciate the input.
Have gone to New Holland web page and looked at the TN series (47-62 fwhp), Ford, Kubota and Deere, though the Deere and Kubota pages was not that user friendly.

You fellows provide me the best direct input and it is appreciated
