Get something that has a 3 pt. hitch at least. Lot of small older Fords will do the job and can be had for $2000 plus.

I have a 23 year old kabota. Best tractor I ever had!.. only problem is on the very rare occasion something breaks parts are pricy! I also have a ford 2810 diesal..works great but a little light in the front end.. I agree that any of the old fords and such work great and you can get them fairly cheap!

My opinion, so take it for what its worth. I think a combo lawn mower / farm tractor rig is going to result in something that isn't great at either.
Your lawn mower is your most used piece of equipment in most country living circumstances, so get a good mower designed for mowing. One of the zero turn type mowers will cut your mowing time down by a bunch.
Any tractor small enough to mow with isn't going to be much of a tractor, plus you should have ag tires on a tractor to do any kind of serious work, and they will eat up your lawn. About the smallest I would want for farm type work; bush hog mowing, small food plots, loader work, etc. would be in the 35hp range, and I would definitely go with 4wd.
If my budget was tight, I would put the most money in my lawn mower, then look for an older inexpensive farm tractor.
