I have about the same size property as you, and I can tell you that a 32 HP tractor is almost certainly overkill. I mean, if you have the HP, you'll use it, but you can definitely get the jobs you're planning on doing done with a tractor in the 25 HP range. A 25 HP tractor may have about 20 HP at the PTO, so it'll easily pull a 4' finish mower. At a speed of 4 MPH (pulled out of my rear), you will mow 3 acres in 1.7 hours. If you go up to a 30 HP tractor, that gets you up to about a 5' mower, and your mowing time goes down to 1.3 hours. You saved 24 minutes. The point is that, on a property as small as you're talking about, the extra mowing speed that the bigger tractor gets you doesn't pan out. If you had 30 acres to mow, you would save 240 minutes, and that would be a big deal, especially when you count in fuel costs. But with only three acres, you're just not getting that much out of the extra horsepower.
What about the blade work? For ground engagement, HP is only half the equation. HP is worthless without traction. Tire type is one of the things that determines traction, but since all tractors can get the same tires, that's not a differentiator. Weight is the other thing that determines traction. You take two tractors, both with the same HP, and the heavier one will out-pull the lighter one. There are folks on TBN with 20 HP tractors who say that the tractor will spin the wheels. So at that point, any additional horsepower that the tractor might have would be totally wasted, since it can't translate the HP into motion. On the flip-side, if mowing is going to be one of your primary uses, a lighter tractor may be preferable, because it will mess up the grass less. You can still do ground-engaging work with a lighter tractor--especially a 4wd--it just takes a little longer. My tractor weighs about 3000 lbs, and I would hesitate to use it as a primary mower because it's so big and even when the ground is dry, it really leaves an impact. If the ground was wet, forget about it.
Last thing: this comment?
I keep looking at the Kubotas online, they just seems to look better in the pics. Other colors don't seem to have the "beef"
If you like orange, buy orange, but your thought about other colors not having the "beef" is just baloney. Nobody could say that Deere lacks "beef" with a straight face, but setting Big Green aside, all of the major manufacturers make excellent, excellent tractors that will get the work done. Frankly, today's CUT and SCUT tractor buyer has so many excellent choices that it is sometimes too much. You really can hardly go wrong. Deere. Kubota. Kioti. Massey. New Holland. Heck, these days you can pick up a Bobcat (same as Kioti, just different color) for dimes on the dollar, since they are dropping the line. Every one of these tractors will do the work you need (which, let's face it, is not that demanding) day in and day out for years to come. There are differentiating factors that might make one of them more appealing to you than another. But just take the idea that any of them don't have the "beef" and throw it out the window. "They look better in pics"? Look a little deeper than pics before you make your decision. Look at the tractor in person. Sit in the driver's seat. Drive it around. Operate the loader. Talk to the dealer. Check out financing options (if relevant). Consider parts availability and service. Consider resale value. Compare specs.
