Yes I have a suggestion or two. Get a tractor with 1.) a three point hitch so you can mount and operate a blade for grading with. 2.) Live pto and hydraulics. You want this for operating a brush cutter (pto) and a loader (hydraulics) and you want "live" especially. 3.) Some weight. You want a tractor heavy enough to move your dirt.
4.) Power steering. So that it will manuever with a load.

With these things in mind, get something newer than the tractors you suggest. While they are nice, they wont give satisfactory performance doing what you say you want them to do. I suggest an IHC 300 or 350, an AC D14 or D15, an Oliver s55 or 550, a JD420,430, a 600 - 900 series Ford, an MF35, or something like these tractors. They are all collectable old tractors which can give you enjoyment in restoration and are new enough to have useful features enough to use. Opinion to be sure, but I hope it helps. JD70jim
