I don't know about what other tractors would have live hydraulics and PTO, but Allis Chalmers WDs, WD45s, and CAs have these features and you should be able to buy one of these fore somewhat less than $3000, even one in good condition. As for power, 20 acres isn't much. As a kid I worked on a farm (in the 60s) that only had an AC model B, (about 20 hp) as the only tractor for everything up until 1956 when they bought a WD45. That little B did everything, mowed, raked, baled, spread manure, plowed, harrowed, etc. everything. This was a 160 acre New England farm and they rented or bought hay from about that many more acres all over the area. Twenytfive or 30 hp will do your 20 acres.
