My book says the F30 had less power than the M. The letter series was a completely new line of tractors, and although there is an "official" scheme, such as the H replacing the F14, and the M replacing the F20, there is still confusion about what replaced what, due to the rather large differences in the HP of the "replacements" as compared to what they "replaced". The M was certainly larger than the F 20, and the H was considerably larger than the F14. These were more modern tractors, and the M eventually evolved into one of the most powerful row crop tractors by the time it became the 450. As to the F30, at the time it was produced, there was not as much demand for a large row crop as there was for the smaller ones. But, as for as logic goes, the M was a more logical replacement for the F 30 than it was the F 20, which was only slightly bigger than the H. The whole thing doesn't have to make sense, though.
