Welcome to the forum!
Obviously, several members of the forum are not ready to become diplomats, but most will try to help you in their own (sometimes harsh and non politically correct) ways.
It appears that your farming would be considered a "hobby" farm that you intend to maximize potential and also provide some enjoyment for you as you go through the process of farming.
If you do not plan on expanding you operation, then ideally a compact diesel in the 30 to 50hp range would be ideal. Unfortunately, these tractors often demand a premium as estate tractors. Some of the best advice was to find the implements that you would like to use and size your tractor accordingly. Good luck in managing your acreage and I hope you enjoy your farming endeavor.
