Or a 5460 - 115hp 4cyl. Neighbour that helps us at taty time a lot has one with a loader, it's done about 8000hrs with a loader on and been very little bother. Pulls like it's got 30hp more than it has
Our 5455 has nearly 8000 hours. Did flywheel damper before it went, had a hydraulic pump and the electric fuel lift pump. Loader is hardly ever off it.

we were in that market a few years back, not that price range though but had a simple list, 40km, 100hp 4cylinder, light clutch(possibly a loader added later), good nick and from main brands, mf nh and deere, with zetor and valtra as outsiders but getting a chance.

basically main brands as any faults will be common, valtra as we have one already and dealer is excellent, and zetor as a local dealer too and seems good.

we ended up with a 7740 with loader, went to look at several but this was best suited. There are a lot to choose from and very few bad tractors going now, but u have to like it.

Find a well cared for arable tractor ,
There will be plenty of well abused stockmens tractors what have had loaders on them never seen a grease gun or oil can about ,that will have have had steamcleaner and rattle can overhaul
Just watch out for farm sales ,
