Found a model 8N Highcrop tractor for 4500.00. The owner says it is a factory kit and it looks to be so. Said they were an option for certain applications. Has anyone seen one of these and is the 4500.00 a fair price.

Pat..... ..NO, that is NOT a "factory option" Hi-Crop. It is some dealer installed kit, also common in cotton country. Your "de-tasseling" mechinism in necessay for hy-brid corn growing. Outta the 900,000 N-Tractors made, wannna guess how many were converted to "hi-crops"? So RARE it is, some value for being unusual to a collector, or to a hy-brid corn grower, but most un-restored 8N's are in the $2000 range. Your call..... .....Dell

That is not the one in the Leffing well books. The one in his books has 38 in rear tires mounted normally and a narrow front to get the height.

I remember seeing one on ebay a while back. I thought it had an aftermarket stilt kit, but can seem to remember the manufacturer. Looked awful high and top heavy for me, but would make working underneath it a breeze. Cleary not a work tractor though.

I don't remember ever reading anything saying you could get a hi-crop 8N from the factory. I tend to believe they were aftermarket conversion...perhaps even sold and installed through the local dealer. That doesn't mean that it does not increase the value because it's not factory....just ask any Funk owner!

From a collector standpoint, I would not raise my eyebrows too much over that price for a nice original condition (not beat to death) hi-crop conversion 8N. It would be a kick to take it to the next Ford tractor show. It would be nice to have something that stands out from the crowd a little.

I have only seen pictures;--- three in FORD FARM TRACTORS by Randy Leffingwell pg. 170 of a 1951 8n high crop. The other is in FORD TRACTORS by Robert N. Pripps & Andrew Morland pg. 66-68 of a 1947 2n sugar cane special w. tricycle frt end owned by Palmer Fossum. So-- I would guess that they are fairly rare, and $4500 might not be to out of line if they are in any shape at all. I don't think anyone would want to buy one of these hi-crops with intent to use it as a work tractor. Dan Robertson
