Between the first two web links you have the tractor in Divide has a live hydraulic pump in front of the distributor which would make loader or hitch usage MUCH more convenient. This pump would have been added after-the-fact as it was not available when that tractor was new. The Denver tractor appears to have a "belly pump" which means the hydraulics don't function when the clutch is disengaged. While non-live hydraulics are certainly usable for the tasks you mention having a pump that runs continously makes the usage much easier and handier.
Personally, for a "working tractor" (as compared to a "collector tractor") I wouldn't even consider one without at least live hydraulics. A live PTO is also a nice feature for mower work but that wasn't available with Farmalls until Super MTA and then the 300 and 400 series. Be aware that although most 300/350 and 400/450 tractors have live hydraulics and PTO these features were technically were both optional so don't automatically assume that all these models are so equipped. Power steering was also optional and seems to be less wide-spread than the live hydraulic and PTO options. I have a 350 wide front with a loader but without power steering and although steering when not moving isn't easy the machine is still certainly usable.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
