The M and Ford are two totally differant animals. The Ford will be a better pick for the finish mower aspect, (M would be better if looking at a brish hog) neither are that great for blading (Ford lack the weight to do a decent job - M lacks rear control arms). Its about a wash on the front loader (neither are very handy especially for a novice).

Personally I'd move up a couple years and get a 300 - 350 (utility or row crop) or a 400 - 450. You gain live hydraulics and live PTO along with the live two point set up. Makes using the tractor much easier and you still retain that "old style" look. They can also be purchased for a price close to the H or M.
