Even a 20 horse power tractor is plenty for a post hole digger. The tiller is where you will get into problems as any gear drive will be too fast for the tiller even with like the 4000 Ford with 8 speed transmiddion. The only tractors in the years talking about will not handle a tiller, only the ford SOS transmission will have a slow enough speed and those transmissiond were for 99% of people junk when new. So hydrostatic only option and they are not good for heavy drawbar work. The 801 (860 0r 861) tractors or the early 4000 equivilent would be good for anything except the tiller. Those modeld would have the 5 speed transmission and 2 stage live pto . You get into the blue series 4000 and they are way to complicated to mess with. I had 2 of the gas with 8 speed and I could not work on them but I did work on the 2N, 9n, Naa and the Ferguson TO30 and the 2 cylinder Deeres. And I hated that independant PTO on the 4000 tractors, I think the 2 stage clutch was way better, you did not have to have 3 hands to operate them. Wish mine had been the earlier version. Diesel was not even a consideration when the 2 4000 and a 5000 were bought.
