like others have said. the Minie-Moe will be hard to get parts for. the 2N is older.. and very easy to get parts for.. but is old and primitive relatively speaking.
the 2N won't handle much "logging" work and could be dangerous even. won't handle much in a loader either and would need an add-on hydraulic pump. no live PTO or 3pt hitch. but for $1000-1500ish the 2N is the lowest price thing out there. I will say i've been amazed about what i could do with a 9N Ford (same as 2N) as light and primitive and low powered as it was. upgraded to a Case 800 which is far heavier and more powerfull and lots of features..(for sale too).
if you have a bit of $ to spend I'd look at a Ford 3000/4000/5000. Case 430/470 and 530/570's would be about the same size. more parts and newer and good tractors. maybe a little less $. an industrial version of the Cases would have a heavy duty loader frame possible too. other options Oliver super 55's and 550's. maybe a late model Allis-Chalmers D17 or 170..
if you have more questions or options ask here. you'll get lots of feedback... maybe too much ..
