Seems everywhere I turn I hear & see nothing but everything about the N series! Is not the Hundred series as popular? And why not? I have a 1956 (850) series and love it. Did I miss out by not getting a N series? Not trying to open up a can of worms here...So I guess you can compare it to why I have a 51 chevy truck, but not the (5) windown 51 chevy truck???

I agree with the others.. If you count the NAA in with the N due to designation.. there were 15 years of 'N' tractors.. and only 7ys? 1955-1962 of x00 and x01 tractors.

Since I've gotten my 1955 ford 660.. my NAA hasn't even bene started.. and my 8n is on 'seeder/spreader' duty.

Flatheads vs. OHV's, less power vs. more power, live PTO option, more transmission options, etc., etc.. The hundred series is my choice, but there sure are a lot of good N series out there at reasonable prices.

Shhhh. Don't let the Yuppies know, or they will bid the 100 series up outa sight as well. Let them play with the less-capible machines..... ;)

It's a numbers deal. So very many N tractors were made, most folks grew up with dad or grand-dad owning one, first machine with the now-standard 3pt hitch. It was a revolutionary tractor when it came out, dad & grandad talked it up as so advanced, so now the kids want a 'modern' 60 year old tractor just like was in the family....

The only reason there is so much talk is because there are so many of them still in use. I have an 8N with a belly mounted sickle mower which I use for mowing hay. I have a 971 (901) with a front end loader. If I didn't need that sickle mower, I'd have sold that 8N long ago. Hydraulics only work if the clutch is out and the PTO is running. And neither PTO or hydraulics are live. This is really inconvenient for every thing I use it for. I don't think the mower will fit on my 971 or the 8N would be gone.

One very good reason you hear about the "N" tractors more is the fact that they built about a million of them.

If you try to compare this to the 800 and 801 combined they only built about 300,000 of these and over half of this 300,000 would have been 600 and 601's.

You bid not miss out by not buying a N. You got a newer tractor with more options and more HP. Would be more like comparing your 51 Chevy truck to a 65 Chevy truck than to one with more windows.

I've got a 53' Golden Jubilee. I've seen many of the hundred series, but I know my Jubilee, and I trust it to work. I won't disagree the 100's are good, because I don't know. But I do not like the 2n / 8n / 9ns. Styling is terrible, I love the 50th anniversery. I just know my tractor can work others into the ground. Sherman Transmission with high low medium. Someone painted it blue. I'm 18, my first tractor, was my grandpa's, so lots of history. Any ideas on where serial #'s are????? ? I find a bunch, but I need to find out if it is 77474 or under, just need to be able to prove it's a Jubilee, my Grandpa hit a telephone pole w/ the tractor, and lost the emblem. Okay, I'm done, I'll let the experts talk again!
