Dad got My Stg. II Super H in the spring of 1968 to replace His old '39 H. He got His '51 M brand new Dec. 23, 1951, and I spent quite a bit of time on the Super M-TA He had from '63 till '66, and the 450 He had after that. For running a sickle mower the Stg II Super H is hands down the best tractor to use of any of them. But for running a bush hog the SM-TA or a 300/350 or preferably 400/450 would be best where the live PTO makes them safer to run. I have both Dad's '51 M with almost ALL the M&W upgrades, 4" Add-Power sleeves & pistons, Add-Power governor, Live hydraulic, and the faster Super M gear set for faster 2nd, 3rd, & 4th gears. And there is NO comparison in power between a Super H and a strong running M/Super M. Actually, Dad's old '39 H would pull most things in the same gear as the Super H because of it's slower speeds in the first four gears, Plus the '39 had smaller 10-38 tires with no fluid so it had WAY more slippage while the Super H had 11-38 or 12.4 X 38 tires with fluid.
A good 300/350 or 400/450 rowcrop would be much cheaper than a Stg II Super H or Super M/M-TA and the chances of them appreciating in value more than the letter series is VERY high. They're production numbers were also very low. Even a 460/560 would fit into that category.
If You plan on plowing even a fraction of Your 26 acres every year get a bigger tractor. When I pulled Dad's 6 ft BRILLION rotary mower with the Super H I could mow off anything I cared to drive over in 2nd gear, most times I ran in 3rd, and for clipping short stubble and chopping corn stalks I would run in 4th. And I always figured I could cover about 2 acres/hour in 3rd gear allowing for turns & a little overlap between passes.

Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
