While there might be some jobs the M is beter suited for, a D-17 is a lot more tractor. A D-17 is a full four plow tractor that is still in some demand for real farming activities. Comparing it to Ford "N" series is even more off the mark. A better comparison would be the D-17 and an Oliver 770. It is also important to note that there were significant differences between the various series of D-17s. A late model (series III) from the mid-late 60's) D17 is a lot more tractor (hydraulics, pto) than the series I which came out in 1957. This is confirmed by the price the various models sell for. Should you trade your M? Only you can really answer that. A D-17 is certainly worth more (late models commonly sell for $5000 plus), but you may really prefer the red. Both are good tractors, but I don't think an objective person would say that the M is a better tractor for all-around farm use.
