I agree with what JEB2N said. there is one other thing. You ever see that Simpsons cartoon where Homer groes Tomacco (LOL), and the tractor keeps tipping over on him? I thought it was funny, but you want to keep safety in mind. An N series Ford is dangerous, but nowhere near as dangerous as an M, IMHO. Here's some examples...in the M, you sit high where a tree can drag you off. It also doesn't have a tranny lockout on the ignition switch, not that you want to rely on one, but stuff happens. My Farmall BN doesn't even have a key....does an M? now as far as HP, I have a 2N, and can pull a 5 foot bush hog through any tall grass just fine. A lot of guys try a 50-60 year old tractor with a worn out engine and think that's what they have. My engine is fresh, and pulls a 2-14 plow through hard, rocky ground all day. What more does one need? I use it to pull a landscape rake, 3 point scoop, 6 foot finish mower, backblade for plowing, post hole digger, and a nice big utility trailer. What more do you need? Finally, there is the issue of storage, and tread marks in your lawn. Get an N or Jubillee, a 600 series Ford, or a small MF. Leave the M to real farmers. Take Care Steve
