I own a 1206 IH diesel. It's a 113 HP farm tractor. It has a loader on it, heated cab, 3 point and live PTO and hydraulics. I also own 2 8N's a Farmall M and a Tractor Loader Backhoe (TLB). The N's are parked for most of the west MN winters as well as the M. My winter work horse tractor are the 1206 and TLB (both diesel). I have a blower that mounts on the 1206. So most often the 1206 is the go to tractor in the winter with the TLB as a backup. If the TLB had a cab it would be used the most. Overall I use the TLB more hours a year than the 1206. I paid less than 5K for the TLB.
So you really need to look at what's out there. I have a buddy who was thinking he wanted a skid steer. After I talked to him he decided on a 45HP compact utility. For his needs much more versatility.
Without seeing your operation first hand I'd be inclined to say for what you want an industrial tractor with a loader like casenutty suggested would be a good candidate. Many were sold with a 3 point and PTO. I will say that having dealer support is most important! Don't ask! A home made "logging arch" on a 3 point that can lift the butt of the log off the ground makes pulling logs easy.

"Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor."
