I think the N fords would be a bit lite for your needs.The same w/most "baby" farm tractors.We have to remember that farm tractors were never meant to be"bulldozers etc" and the loaders etc made for these units were primarily made for loading manure/pushing snow/light grading.I would look for something a bit bigger horsepower wise,like an 800/3000 series Ford,WD/D Allis,300-500 series Farmall/Int etc.These would get you into a higher hp,heavier duty rig that would be much more useful,without becoming a bulky oversize money gobbling monster.Dozens of choices,but you should look for something about 35-50HP,wide front,good hydraulics,3pt and if possible power steering.My"personal"choice would
