What do i really Need?

Hey all, Im new to the forum and i was wanting to ask a newbie question . I have 4 actually 2 in the open 2 in the woods and im looking at getting a garden tractor as well as one to help with stumps and trees im partial to the farmall name as i used to help an older man on his farma dn drove his farmall H and M. any how im looking for a tractor to Pull a Pto driven tiller disc's and bush hog and finishing mower and im not sure if an h and m are two big or if a super c would do fine with it all as well as stumps and an awger im almost positive im going to need a hydraulic lift as well as a 3 point hook up but im not sure what these good ole farmalls are capible of or if any of them will even do the work i need it to do . were looking at clreaing off the other two acres sometime and opening it all up for mostly a small farm chickens and a cow or something and a garden. any ideas as i said im partial to the tricycle farmalls but i want to get what is best i look forward to being apart of this community and hearing your responses.

Welcome to Tractor Forum attaboybigen75. I am sure a Farmall could be made to work. I think the rear hitch may not be suitable for all the impliments you mention. I would think a Farmall 454, 444, or similar size would be a good optionl. Another is the Massey 135. The old farmall H and M's especially in the tricycle gear were designed primary as row crop tractors. Not the best suited for general utility work.

The Super C has a two point hitch but they make a slip in conversion to make it take the 3 point hitch implements as well.
Make sure that the 2 point hitch is there and that it has a hydralic cylinder that lifts it up and down if not it will not work. I believe that the Super C had around 20hp or so. These pictures were taken from the internet for reference only.

These are some great old work horses. I found these videos on Youtube, they are not mine but you can see them work.
