In the 50's I drove both of these tractors in the same field pulling a 6 foot tandem disk. Also cultivated with it. The 8N is by far the worst tractor I have ever driven. I remember begging my Dad to let me put the front-mounted cutivator on the H, instead of using that awful rear-mount Ford. Was doing close cultivation of vegetables, or at least trying to. There is NO comparison, the H has far more power. The only thing an 8N has going for it is the 3 point, a decided advantage if you change implements a lot, and you can get one for the H. Although, the 8N is better for yard work and close quarters. Horsepower ratings are immaterial, it is the power to weight ratio that counts, excellent in the H, the 8N is too light and overgeared (too fast). As to the M, it is maybe 1000 lbs heavier than the H, about 9 more hp, and is a 3 plow tractor, the H is a 2 plow. It sounds like you are doing light duty work, so the H should be fine.
