I have a Ford 8n, and it's good for nothing other than small loader work as far as what I do on my farm. It's too light in the rear to plow the driveway in the winter unless there's only an inch or two of snow, and it doesn't have much power for brush hogging. The only time I really use it is to load or move sawdust and horse manure. The rest of the work (disc, spreader, brush hog, trailering) gets done with my Farmall M. Last winter I even made a home made 3pt for the M so I could plow the drive with it, as it worked 100% better than the Ford due to its weight, size, and manuverability with the narrow front. If I had to pick one, I'd take the M any day. But for what you need, none of this info may apply aside from the plowing the snow.
