I'd have to agree with Ben. Any of those he mentioned should do you fine for a long while. My first tractor was a MF35 Diesel. It's a very good small yet strong machine. Low center of gravity compared to many. Plenty of power. The MF35s have Live PTO and a very good 3-pt. For the size the MF35 or MF135 has good visuals from the seat so you can get in close. Both are pretty straight forward on any repair work you may want or need to do and AGCO Dealers are getting to be just about everywhere so any parts you may need shouldn't be any more than a day out. As Ben mentioned, the Ford 3000/4000 or 5000 would not be a bad choice, I'm just a bit partial to Massey's. Personally, I think the Massey's hold up better than the Fords. There's nothing wrong with the Case tractors that I know of, Other than operating one now and again, I haven't had much experience with them. Good Luck with whatever you end up getting.
