I like to think of it like having hammers. There are times when you need that 8 pound sledge, BUT when you are driving 8, 10, 12 or 16 penny nails building walls/etc. that sledge is just NOT what you want to be using, even though it sure will drive in nails that size. :-) So that is why you also have a framing hammer.

By the way 8Ns don't have live pto - they have transmission pto and if you aren't using it you can cover it up with a cap - available from near any N parts supplier.

I'm just courious, what do you need to do around your house that the N is too small for?

When I bought my farm in the foot hills of the Blue Ridge montains of Virginia, I knew from the 8N my Uncle had that an 8N was too small for some of the work I was going to have to do. But, when I got my Uncle's 8N after he died, I found that it was a very handy tractor to have around. Used the back blade on it to back fill the trenches I dug with the Ford 3000 (I got at first) and a Woods back hoe. Even used the 8N three times to pull the 3000 out of "trouble" that it couldn't get out of on its' own. Unless you desparately need the $2K, I'd suggest that you keep the 8N for at least a little while after you get the bigger replacement. You might find that each has a place. The 8N is much more manuverable than the 3000 and pulls a 7 foot back blade realllll good! I have actually moved more dirt with the 8N than the 3000 just because it was so much easier to steer and manuver.
