I don't know about that. Grandpa ran a 165 diesel with a 3-16" 3pt. John Deere plow and didn't have problems with it. Our soil isn't exactly light here. With a 135 or 3000 Ford, yes you better have a bigger tractor for drawbar work. Its not bad with all work. You just shouldn't bale hay or pick corn or haul full hay wagons with a 135. Grandpa had one that handled planting and raking just fine.
Honestly I wouldn't touch any Ford with a 20 ft. pole except a 860.

Back to the subject, I wouldn't want either. I would go for a International 656 or a 1650 Oliver or a Case 730.
