fabo farmers, what kind of tractor?

well, it looks like we will be in the market for a farm tractor shortly!
Never having farmed, we could use some suggestions for a tractor.
95 acres, rolling, aprox.20acres farmable for something and with a 5 acre pond. We have an idea that we will need a bucket and pto capabilities, but how does one tell just how much tractor you need?
There is an older mf 135 (non running) with the deal.

I love my '49 Ford 8N. I did a working restoration on it when I got it. It ain't a trailer queen but EVERYTHING works. I know you probably need somethin more modern.....but "MY" advice is get an older AMERICAN made tractor. Maybe a Jubilee with live PTO. New parts are still readily available. Those things run forever and are made out of way better metal than anything today. That old MS sounds like it's worth lookin into.
