This is a great thread. I am enjoying reading the ups and downs of the tractors from first hand operators. We had a 8N when I was a kid and the neighbor had a SC. My dad never liked the 8N much it didn't run very well, but we borrowed the SC many times. I think it was mostly because it had a starter, we had an "A" but it was hand crank. I used the SC to pull a pipe trailer. Dad sold the 8N and got a 530 Case diesel. this was his cultivating tractor, but it was a miserable set up. The thing would not track straight. Dad always blamed me because I disked or roller harrowed the same way as he planted.
One thing I do remember about the 8N was ditching. I got it stuck many times (high centered).
The neighbor with the SC gave it to his son, who still has it. I still have my dad's A but the other tractors are gone.
It is funny you guys talk about matching the tractor to the work. When I was a kid we used whatever would start.
