I have a Stage 2 Super H with a narrow front, and an M with a wide front and power steering. With a narrow front, the M is no less manueverable than the H, because the wheelbase of the M is 88.75 inches, the H 88.5 inches. The M is about 1000 lbs heavier depending on how each one is equipped, so the M will be harder to steer; BUT the H steering is not exactly light, particularly when manuevering around at slow speeds. At field speeds both are ok. If you have 26 acres to mow on a regular basis and don't want to spend an immense amount of time doing it, the M will handle a larger mower, or else run the one for the H one gear faster depending on conditions. Remember that 6+ mph 4th gear in both the Super H and M are good for little other than raking hay or pulling a rotary hoe, etc, too fast for plowing, and good for mowing only in very light conditions. A good mowing speed is the 4 and a fraction mph 3rd gear speed of both the regular H and M, provided the weeds/grass are not too tall, otherwise you use 2nd. If you have to use first you will die of old age before you finish. You don't get that 4 mph speed in the Super H or Super M, but 2nd is 3.75, 3rd is 5 mph, nearly a full mph faster than 3rd in the H and M. For a lot of mowing the 300/400 series, or a Super MTA (if you can find one at a reasonable cost) are better for mowing because of the live PTO, which to me is more important than live hydraulics, which really won't have much effect they way you say you will use the tractors. Only my opinion, based on probably 5000 hours on an H in the 50's, and rather minimal time on an M and others since then.
