I second the Ford 3000 suggestion. My little Ford 2000 has power steering, live pto and 8 speeds for lots of gearing options. It can do all that you ask except the 3 bottom plow. It can handle a 2 bottom plow just fine in the soil around here. A 3000 will be slightly more horsepower. So either a 2000 or 3000 (or later 2600/3600) given the specified features will work super. Stay away from any 2000's that have the 4 speed. Will not work very well for tilling and most (all?) will not have live pto or power steering.
Parts are readily available online and at local New Holland dealers. Many parts can be bought at Napa.
I would also suggest staying with gas. Much easier to maintain and start in the winter. The little 3 banger does not use that much fuel to warrant a diesel and they are quite noisy, IMHO.
The best part is that you can buy them for around $3-4K in good condition. Handiest tractor on my little farm. I also own a JD 2550 for round baling, but I prefer to use the 2000 if it can do the job at hand. BTW, it can also run a 5ft bushhog with ease.

This being so, it surprises me to see how many enthusiasts attending rallies, shows etc, seem to be unaware of the importance of this constant attention. Possibly the modern machine with its 6,000 mile or even once
