There are literally dozens of tractors from various makes in the 30-50HP range. And they vary in size by ALOT. Anywhere from a 2000lb tractor to 6000lb tractors. 30-50 HP covers 3 frame sizes. SCUT(sub-compact utility tractor), CUT(compact utility tractor), and utility tractor. AND there is a BIG difference.
And I will also ad that for only 5 acres, I would be looking at the SCUT's anc CUT's and NOT the UT's.
What you really need to do is go to some dealers and get a "feel" for the real-world size of these machines. When you do, make note and look at the specs. Then compare brands for similar models.
It also wouldnt hurt to decide on what sized implements (bushhog, mower, blade, etc) you what to be able to handel. Because that can help steer you toward the right tractor.

I would start off by finding what you have around you for dealers. Even if you don't buy from your local dealer you may still need their support so it helps to know which brands you may want to avoid in case you run into an issue. Of course there's plenty of help here.

and you may WANT to patronize a local dealer.
saving a couple hundred bucks and buying non local may come back to bite you when you are in a pinch and need warranty work. you will likely get it from the local dealer.. but may be at the bottom of his list if it's busy.. etc... whereas a customer of his may be at the top.
those are the kind of things you need to compair out to see if the savings is worth it.
