| Oliver 550's were/are very sought after, drove John Lien's one time at a plow day just after we were married and supposed to be going to a family function, He insisted, would not take no for an answer even if my wife expected me home, so I drove it for a round, he died not too long after of cancer,(IDK) was a one of the good old small store Oliver/White dealers, was from Hixton WI. I may be biased but I would go Oliver of keep looking for Ford without the Seleto-Speed, or a Massey of some sort, but stay away from the Continentals, gas were a good engine but very hard to get parts for . What is the limit of your budget? Some of the sub compacts like a 1700 or 1900 Ford were decent little tractors from what I have been told, have not got much first experience with them but would be 2x3 times what your Power King is. Or if you have time you could redesign a Allis B like my brother did, but would not recommend that as it took a lot of time and effort,but it is basically a heavyweight Power King see link below.

additional thoughts, Get something with a real 3 point for what you are doing not a Allis with snap coupler, as mentioned below a small tractor with a narrow front might work out well for what you are doing also, very hard to beet in small tight spaces. for maneuverability.
