Very personal decision, and depends on what your needs are - but I'd recommend going with a smaller tractor for your first one. A/Super A
They're a LOT more fogiving in weight.
They're easier to transport safely. Easier to lift safely. Easier to remove and manuever parts safely.
For example, a rear wheel from an A falling on you would hurt you, but a calcium filled wheel from an M would squash you like a bug. The same could be said of many of the various parts you may need to get into.
Of course, it depends on what your ultimate use is for the tractor.
But even so, if you're totally new to it I say go small to learn, then sell it and try something larger. The knowledge you gain will transfer nicely to the larger machines. If you're carefull you can keep your costs somewhat contained, and hopefully not lose your shirt in the process.
Whatever you do, good luck. The more people keeping these old machines alive, the better.
