I don't know about that. Grandpa ran a 165 diesel with a 3-16" 3pt. John Deere plow and didn't have problems with it. Our soil isn't exactly light here. With a 135 or 3000 Ford, yes you better have a bigger tractor for drawbar work. Its not bad with all work. You just shouldn't bale hay or pick corn or haul full hay wagons with a 135. Grandpa had one that handled planting and raking just fine.
Honestly I wouldn't touch any Ford with a 20 ft. pole except a 860. I know I'm biased on that, probably because my neighbor had a 4000 that I swear was a lemon and my uncle had a 9600 that was nothing but trouble. I think the 860s are good though. Grandpa had one for over 25 years and it was tougher than nails.
Back to the subject, I wouldn't want either. I would go for a International 656 or a 1650 Oliver or a Case 730.
