oldtanker said: (quoted from post at 21:26:03 06/14/11) Toy? It's one HP less than Ford 8N, much newer with way better hydraulics and with the little 3 cyl diesel cheap to run. It should run a 5' finish or brush mower, pull a 2 bottom plow, 6' tandum disk....ect. Perfect tractor for a hobby farmer or chore tractor for a small farmer. And the price is good. I'd rather have that than say an Farmall H. For my farm the H would be worthless considering the other tractors I have (Ford 8N, Farmall M that's only used pulling wagons and the manure spreader and the Farmall 1206).
Guess which one gets used the most! The Ford. I've got about 15 hours on the M this spring. Maybe 10 on the 1206 and about 70 on the Ford.
And go price an 8N in that condition.....
Only thing I see wrong with it are the turf tires.

Well to me it's a toy. I'm thinking more like a Massey Ferguson 290 or 165 for the "hobby farmer". Or if you're into Ford's then an 801. I've seen those models of tractors going for that same price over here in my region. That is ridiculous for even the "hobby" farmer in my mind. Of course I'm sure some guys on here would scoff at the models of tractors I mentioned as being toys. So I guess it's all relative.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
