: I would like a little insight as long as we are talking about Ford tractors. : I know little about tractors, however, I have asked probably a dozen Farmers about 8n's and 2n's. to see if they are good tractors. Almost without exception, I get reactions of laughter. I have been given the iMpression that most professional farmers feel that these tractors were a joke even in there time. I am told that they did not have live pto and needed to be overhauled almost yearly when seriously worked.
: I am also told that they were way to light to do any serious field work. Am I asking the wrong people or are these tractors popular for some reasons that have not been brought to my attention? My grandpa had a 8N Ford but it's main use was plowing the garden, and pulling a wagon, and letting grandkids drive it and have fun. However, the little tractor is fast on the road and I've often marveled no deaths by it. It is handy for pulling a light blade, cleaning a driveway.
