I have 3 Series II and one Series I D15 (SFW) units. That 3-point is factory and somewhat sought after as a bit rare, even on the Series II D15 (the right draw bar will not be cheap). They did offer factory 3-point on the Series I units and they are actually very rare indeed. Difference in usable power between the Series I (149 engine) and Series II with the 160 engine is quite obvious. Will the Series II pull a baler and wagon? Sure, but as others have stated, even with loaded rears you are asking for trouble in hill country when you get a wagon full of 100-120 50# bales; I grew up on very hilly country 30 minutes from Capt. Dana and we would never put our Series I on the baler in our hills. As for brush cutting, same difference in power between the series as my SI has all she wants in dry tall grass with a 6' 3-pt. brush hog where the SII is much more suitable.
The 15II is a great utility tractor but I would consider a D17 for baling in hills, and load the tires.
