A lot of nice features started appearing on tractors in the mid 1950s through 1965.
Live hydraulics, live pto, power steering. 5-8 forward gears.
Even of you don't understand what those mean or don't plan to use them today, they are very good features to have, and I would research what they are and how much nicer a tractor is with them.
The Ford n series is popular because "grandpa had one" and everyone remembers them as the first tractor to have a 3pt hitch, sized to replace a team of horses. They tend to be a little overpriced for what they actually are tho, you can buy a tractor with better features from my list for less money sometimes.
If you are going to invest in a tractor, having a loader on it makes it a "Swiss army knife useful" type of a thing.
