a two furrow could easily be pulled by 35 horsepower. But if you want something 70-100 hp, I would recommend a case-ih.

I assume you got rid of the other tractor because it was too big. The older case tractors were great in this regard, really powerful for their size, really easy on juice and really reliable. A 685 or 785 would be more than enough for you. You don't say how much you have to spend, but you should pick up a good 785 for around 4,500 - 6,000, depending on condition. XL cabs are good on them, but if storage is an issue, the L cab would make it really tidy and small. Also, the L cab model is closer to the ground, so if ploughing, it's an easy cab to get in and out of.
