I'm in need of some Farmall expertise in choosing the right Farmall for my wants/needs. I'm currently trying to sell locally a Ford 3400 loader with no PTO. I recently test drove a M and a H that were for sale. I decided once the 3400 is sold I want to buy a Farmall letter series or newer (my wife liked the M best but my dad had a Super C when I was a kid). Here's my situation/needs.
- I have 35 acres with about 30 fenced off for my horses/mule. The other 5 acres need to be mowed occasionally.
- I have about a mile of dirt road that needs to be maintained (blade/box blade).
- Living on the Colorado plains, we get a very large drift on our road during storms. A snowblower seems to work best for clearing it.
- With horses, I need to clean/move manure from the barn. Here's what I think I need. At least a Super C but probably a H or M. A loader and 3 point conversion. I wouldn't mind doing some restoration work, so I'm not looking for something fully restored (i.e., painted). Looking for suggestions/recommendations. Do I absolutely need live PTO (SMTA) to run the snowblower? Am I asking for too much out of these tractors? Am I off base with expectations? I guess I could get a newer import but I don't really want one, much less pay for it. Thanks in advance.

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
