Having a farmall A and the ford to pick from I would go with the Ford without a doubt. I wish you could have watched how much work I did with my 9n saturday, you would have been convinced too. I had to go to a friends deer hunting property and brush hog some shooting lanes for them on about a ten acre wooded and grassland parcel they have. There were lots of scrub oaks, willows and poplar trees that had to be cut back along with a lot of grass and scrub brush to get it all up to snuff and looking good. I probably mowed about four acres in about four hours of work. The ford did a good job and they were pleased and kind of amazed how handy it was. They haul nice on trailers, I hauled it about 15 miles to the property. I was using a five foot john deere rotary cutter. The ford has a lot of good points, cheap price, easy platform to get on and off, tons of parts, fit in a low garage if needed, turn very well, fairly stable on hills, motors run cool, are very fuel efficiant, 3 point hitch can do everything you need to, light enough to not ruin your grass but heavy enough to get some dirt turned over. If you get a good one you will love it. I would actually find a 9n or a 2n. I think they have a more simple brake and axle setup than the 8n. I acutally think they went back in durability on the 8n with the tapered axle bearings and seals. Try to find one with a hi/low sherman transmission too if you can. Makes it nice for road gear. We are farmall people but for what you intend to do the ford is the best. Good luck.
