I have a little New Holland 4X4. It's served me well for about 8 years now. I like Ford Blue. I always new my tractor would be a Ford or New Holland. My advice, go with what is supported/represented locally near your location. If the Kubota dealer is across the road and has been dealing Kubotas at that location for twenty years, buy a Kubota. Me? I like blue. Good luck.
I have a Mahindra 3510 and like it really well. 35 HP 4x4 with a front end loader. It will do everything I need, but do wish I'd gotten the hydrostat instead of the shuttle shift.
If you can find a good one, a JD 4020 would do more than the little tractors for the same money. Parts are available and they are quite reliable as they were designed as more than a "hobby" tractor. They are just quite a bit older.
Another one, albeit a bit more expensive ($15-17k + or -) would be a 30 series or 40 series JD. We still run the heck out of some 4430s and they are great general purpose tractors.
FWIW I know precisely jack about a Kubota, Mahindra, or the like. I have always wondered why for the same money, you would get a really small tractor when you can get a tractor made for commercial use. YMMV.

Not from the area but I know New Holland has some great package deals available for tractor, trailer, bus hog and loader. Interest rates at 0. Got lots of sizes and combos. I was a Deere guy but bought a 4wd NH 55hp about a year ago. Seems to be a good solid tractor.
If you get into a Kubota you need to make sure it is not a Grey market import. They are near impossible to get parts for.
We had an old ford we replaced with the Kubota and the. Later on with a brand new Deere that has been the best little tractor ever.

If you do any thing on the acreage to make money(Truck farm, raise calves, goats, etc.) you may be eligible for a farm tax number, check with your county assessor. Also, one thing that you will use more than you think, is a set of forks that attack to the front loader bucket. I use mine to move any thing that I can,t carry, and would not be without them.
I don't know how important 4x4 is to you, but there are tons of old ford tractors out on craigslist, etc. I bought an old Ford 641 32 horse with 5 implements for 4k a few years back and it's done everything I've asked it to.
+1 on Mahindra. I've had a 3316HST for a couple of years, and I love it. If you anticipate a lot of loader work, the hydrostat is the way to go. Mahindra is an Indian brand, but all of their smaller stuff is made in Japan by Mitsubishi. They seem to be a sleeper in the market at this point; I would buy mine again.
4020 deer
I have a Yanmar diesel tractor I bought in the 1980's and still use it. It's 4 wheel drive and never have had any trouble with it. I don't think they still
sell them though but believe Yanmar makes John Deere's small diesel engines etc. I would get a Deere probably as they have dealers in the area.
