Just something to consider, and I totally agree your money you buy what you like way of doing business, when I was looking at tractors a few years ago I took a step back from the modern versions and bought a 1960 Ford 801 PowerMaster 4cyl diesel and gave it an overhaul and some new parts, body parts, new and better seat and paint. I have just around $3,000 in it and have enjoyed it more than I think I ever would a new version. One like that may not be able to do the work you need and when using it you and the bugs will become great friends, but it just works and works, also they are really cool.
