Typically a plow is primary tillage for field, followed by a disk (aka disk-harrow in some regions) or a field cultivator, and then a harrow (aka drag, or sometimes an attachment on the back of the disk or feld cultivator) right before planting. The plow burries trash & weeds, roughing up the ground so it dries & warms in spring. The 2nd implement (disk or field cultivator) will level out & make the lumps finer, also digging up weeds. The harrow/drag will smooth the soil & tear ot fine weed seedlings. These implements make a good seedbed for grain crops, bigger fields, can deal with a lot of trash, make a proper seedbed for corn & other such grain crops.
A tiller is sort of an all-in-one tillage tool, doing all of the above at one time. It is often used in smaller areas, and makes a fine seed bed for gardens & such type of seeding. They sometimes don't handle trash as well - like heavy cornstalks.
I notice you keep mentioning both a plow & a tiller. That is not a common way to go. Nothing wrong with that, but are you setting yourself up with the propper tools for what you want to do?
Plow needs a lot of traction & pull. For some cropping it is best to do the tillage in stages suc as plow, disk, harrow. This works better with real farm tractors.
Tiller needs a real slow forward speed and live pto is better. Tlling makes a good garden, but sometimes pulverizes the soil too much & too fine for a good field. Can take a lot of fuel & time to do a large area. Just not very common for cropping land. This works better with compact tractors - little fellas.
I didn't think 4wd was real common on that era tractor - be sure that front end is in good shape, parts for it are probably difficult to find. A 60 hp tractor 'here' would match nicely with a 3-14 plow. You might be able to pull 4-14 in easy ground, but that would be some stress maybe, I'd stick with 3-14. A tiller on such a tractor is not a real common thing 'cept in specialized areas?
