When I grew up here on the farm I likewise spent a lot of time on the 8N as I did almost all the dirt work. The 8N that dad bought new in 1952 has had a recent overhaul, 3 point hydraulic system rebuilt, new tires front and back, loaded ones on the rear and runs just great and still on 6 volts and starts in any weather. I just don't have any tasks anymore for what it is well suited to perform. My BIL only has a Farmall M for all his farm work and I'm constantly taking one of my tractors over there when making hay or other simple tasks and I think I'm going to let him use it as a second tractor so it gets some use. I used it when I first retired back to the farm with a Bush Hog finish mower to mow my extended yard until I acquired a Farmall 140 and Woods belly mower. It has set since that time and hasn't been used hardly at all. I probably won't sell it as it's a dad's tractor and someday one of the grandkids might want it to restore. My Super C is a fabulous hay rake tractor which is a job the 8N is well suited for but that light front end just bounces along the ground when trying to make a tight turn at the end of the field. The narrow front SC just makes a snappy and quick turn and you have to be careful to keep it out of the rear tires in a turn. I think the SC also has better pulling and lugging power with heavy loads then the 8N. The 8N's were probably sold in far greater numbers then any Farmall and still command a very decent price for the weekend folks with a small place in the country. I know I could sell this one and buy 2 SC's with what I could get for it with the Sherman tranny. Bottom line, my SC is my small tractor of choice and I certainly have a choice of two nice trouble free ones to choose from, Hal.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
