50 acres for corn and hay... We've got 160 but only work on 50-60 (rest is pasture or bush). I think 2 tractors are better than one. Our biggest is 54 at the pto - has a good loader and filled tires - could handle round bales, but we don't, can pull the 9 ft haybine around easily enough. The other is a Fordson Major diesel (40hp?). So when one is still baling, the other is pulling the hay wagon and then running the pto elevator to the hay loft. Our smallest is an old Case VA with loader (our tiny gas utility machine). It pushes around manure and snow, harrows the garden, and for something like raking it would be wasteful to run a big machine when something like a VA could do it. I guess that's 3 tractors, but the VA is at another distant property. I'd look at a bigger diesel machine with loader and cab, and a small old cheap utility using either gas or diesel. good luck.
