I grew up around WD's and WD45's but now have all Farmall's. I will give you an honest opinion, and hope that my Dad doesn't read it (he is orange through and throgh). A WD45 is a much more useful tractor that a Farmall M. Same HP and much better fuel economy. Will plow much better with a well set up Snap Coupler plow. It also has live hyd and pto. The M will pull a little more due to the 38" tires and more weight.

SM is a little closer but still no live pto. SM has even worse feul economy.

In reality the WD45 compares to the 400 and 450 in age and utility. The 450 with a fast hitch in my opinion is better than a WD45. Same utility, but bigger.

If I had to choose between a WD45 and an M in the same shape for the same money, strictly for using the tractor for what you listed above, I would go with the WD45. Same comparison with 300-450, I would probably go with the Farmall. But mainly becuase I like the red ones. :0
