In Reply to: Ford 8N or Not ??????? posted by Tater_51 on November 16, 2011 at 09:37:16:
An N is a great first tractor. They have their limitations as have been mentioned in other posts. But they are a heck of a lot of fun and actually do make a rather remarkable little snow mover. Properly set up of course with a front plow, rear wheel weights or fluid in the tires and good snow chains. These days however, for the price an N would bring just a couple of years ago, you can buy a Hundred Series Ford which is a superior machine. If you do buy an N make sure you buy an 8N and not a 9N or 2N as the 8N did have some better features than their older sisters. I would not pay over $2500 to $3000 for even the nicest N. I agree that having live hydraulics is a major advantage over the non live type the Ns had. Not having live PTO on a tractor under 40 hp wouldn't be a deal killer to me. Do some reading on the site that Bob linked to. There is a section there on buying a tractor - what to look for etc that is invaluable to a first timer. Good luck and welcome to Yesterday's Tractors.
