at the orscheln's store here they have what i call a rotary tiller. it hooks up to a three point. will this work on an 8n? i know this is a stupid question but i dont know a lot about farm equipment. i would ask at the store but dont feel that they could give me an knowledgeable answer. this "rotary tiller" if thats what you call it. is about 5'long x 2-3'deep. is it to big. i just dont want to rag out the tractor. sorry for the ignorance. rick craig

Rick..... ...its reported that there were OVER 400 3-point implements & attachments made for the N-Tractor. Collect'em all! (grin)

Actually, the N-Tractor set the 3-point standard, now called catagory-1. Briefly, lower 2-links 26" apart and 7/8" diameter. Toplink 3/4" dia. PTO eather 1-1/8 or 1-3/8 6-spline. Calibrate your eyeballs, or do as I do, carry a scrap of sheetmetal with 3/4 & 7/8 holes in it and verify the 3-point linkage. Not always a guarantee because farmers have been known to change 3-point linkage pins (which is better than using "adaptors"). Generally, the overall size is also a clue as to wheather its a cat-0, or cat-1, or cat-2, or cat-3. If it looks too big or too small, it probably isn't cat-1.

I've saved alotta money at auctions by being 2nd highest bidder. Set your limit, and don't get caught up in "auction fever". There'll always be another auction, somewheres..... ...Dell

Yes Rick, N's are plow'N machines. However, I just found and bought a Dearborn rototiller for my 9N. I called one week after the add was placed in the classifieds of my local paper..."not one person had even looked at it," I was told. Got it for $75.00! I'll let you know how it works, but for $75.00 I'm keeping it regardles!

Like Mike and Dell has stated roto-tillers do not work well with 8N tractors, however , I have never seen one or even heard of anyone even having one , but in the FORD TRACTOR IMPLEMENT book on page 90 Ford did have what they called a rotary hoe that I would suspect to be an excellent piece of equipment. Anyone out there have one of these great looking pieces of equipment? I'd almost bet that Ed Gooding has brochures on these. Stan

If by a "rotary tiller" you mean a genuine PTO driven 3pt mounted roto tiller then spend your money elsewhere. N's are terrific tractors but they have one drawback (in my opinion). Even in first gear they are fast. Working a roto tiller needs something really slow and an N just doesn't do well. You could try slipping the clutch but that slows down the PTO speed that slows down the tiller that slows down.....well you get it.

You would be better off spending your money on a plow/disk for tilling with the N.

Rick..... ...Unfortunately, N's are NOT good for rototillers, they're too high speed. However, N's are 2-bottom plowin' fools. We get this rototiller question every spring. And the answer is always the same.

And even the dealer installed Sherman Aux Tranny is STILL too high speed.

There is a rare and fragle "Howard" aux tranny that mounts after the main tranny and before the diffy that slows the tractor down. RARE and FRAGLE

In the 1970's, near Lodi Calif, I used to see 5 foot 3-point aircooled engine mounted rototiller that you could drag behind your N-Tractor. Unfortunately, I know nothing more. Wheather it was a major brand rototiller, or custom manufactured, don't know, wasn't interested, and now I live in Washington state..... ...Dell
