I have a 2000 M8200DT Kubota with 1500 hours on it. It has a 7 ft. bucket and runs a 8 ft Rhino mower with no problem. It is 4WD. If you get a loader, don't spend your money on a 2 wd tractor-- the loader will just push the front end around which is what tears them up. I move trees, manure, rocks, dirt etc with mine and still on 3 of the original tires( popped one on a scrap metal) and only second battery. I have had ZERO problems with it and I work it hard. It is an 82HP. Make sure you buy any tractor with a foot throttle and parking stands for the loader. Both of these were extra on a Deere when I bought the Kubota. Also, get the telescoping lift links on the back to make hooking up easier. If you have any questions, just holler at me. I also have a Kubota zero turn mower and a Kubota RTV so I like the orange-- unfortunately my wife is a hardcore Aggie.
