If you're planning on pulling a 10-bottom plow, step up to something a bit larger.... I use my '58 Cub for running a 5' finish mower, and pulling around the usual assortment of things that need pulling, such as a wagon, yard roller, small disc harrow, yard leveller (old box spring with weights) and similar implements. I LOVE the tractor, and it's the first one I hop on when I want to get in some "seat time" for stress relief.
