So far nobody has menchioned that the B's do NOT have any hydraulics. In order to run a 3 pt hitch you will have to somehow add hydraulics to your B. I can't imagine being able to operate a manual 3 pt hitch.

GOOD LUCK

A B will pull a 5 or 6 foot tandem, so a 10 ft single should be ok.

No problem with those implements. We had a C and pulled more than that, although the C has larger wheels and more traction, but same HP. Used to pull a hay rake with the Cub onece in a while. The B eill run a small baler and wagon of hay if the ground is fairly flat. traction will be the problem if it is hilly.

If you mean a 10 ft single, not tandem disc, the B will be fine. It is the same as a C.

The B will do much more than a newer tractor witht eh "same" hp.

All IH tractors came with the label "Do Not Overload". If it will take off and go when you engage the clutch and it maintains engine RPM you are not overloading it.

If it will pull it you are OK!

I'd be interested in that answer. I have to think a 10 foot disk would be too much by far.
I have a more modern FWD Ford that has similar HP to a B and I use it a lot but a 10 foot disk would be more like throwing out an anchor. Five foot blade is OK. Not sure on the rest except the question about the hayrake. I am certain it would pull a hayrake but would be concerned about using a baler or pulling any loaded wagons. I don't know where you are, but I have been shopping for a B to work on. For what you could sell the B for you could buy a pretty nice M or H.
