PTO House power.

[Breezy Bluff Farm]

I have a 1959 MF-50. I'm trying to figure out what the PTO horsepower is. It's a straight for cylinder engine. Category 1 three-point hitch. I user the tractor everyday for jobs ranging from moving dirt and stone, cleaning stalls to cutting, flipping and bailing hay. The tractor is getting tired and I would like to get another tractor to do the cutting, flipping and bailing jobs and keep the MF-50 for the other day to day jobs. Before I start shopping around I need to know what I need.

Keep in mind that the newer tractors are quite different from the older ones. Especially the weight aspect. Newer tractors tend to be on the lighter side.
