For your purposes, neither one of these tractors are particularly good choices. And they're about as dissimilar as you can get!

As others have said, the 8N is underpowered and overpriced. Depending on how hard the soil is you're going to plow, it may not be able to do the job.

The M is a great tractor, but it's very big and didn't come from the factory with a three point. On the other hand, its maneuverability in the tricycle configuration is second to none.

My personal preferences would be either one of the Fordson Major series, or the Ford 600/800 series (including the 601/801 and four cylinder 2000/4000 tractors). These all have plenty of power, three point hitch, live hydraulics and are reasonably compact. I'm sure there are many other tractors of various colors that will suit your needs equally well.
