Deere 3010 built from 1960 - 1963 shipping weight about 6300 lbs. Massey Ferguson 255, built from 1975 - 1982, shipping weight about 6000 pounds.
The Massey has a 236 cu in Perkins diesel... perhaps one of the best diesels of that era. I own an AC 175 with a Perkins 248 .. the newer version engine..and it has over 8000 hours and still going strong..as a daily chore tractor. Starts easy down to 20- 25 degrees, before you need the ether. The Perkins has a reputation for being a bit miserly with the fuel. The Deere not so much... gas or diesel.
In my judgement the Massey would be easier to find parts for, while the 3010 is getting rather long in the tooth and mother Deere is a bit pricey these days.. but the salvage yards have lots of parts.
If you planning on 'using' the tractor..then I would suggest the Massey 255 ..if you just want to look at something pretty..pick the Deere
