You did pretty good for your first time. You have found out why the "N" series are mainly a three point implement tractor. The IH H would be a little better but they still have a pretty fast low gear. If you are handy mechanically then a Sherman reduction in your 9N would work well. Just get some front weights on the tractor.
As for your potatoes. You need to spread them out and let them dry. I use a large old area rug to spread them out on. Then just pick them up and rub the dirt off of them. DO NOT WASH THEM. the water will make them rot. You then need a cool dry place to store them. They need to be protected from freezing but the cooler the better. Bushel baskets work the best to store them in. Card board boxes would be the second choice. Plastic anything will make them rot as they will sweat against the plastic.
If you have the room a large wooden shelf with old news paper and the potatoes spread out one deep works great to. My Grand Mother had shelves like that in her cellar. The where 24 inches deep and eight feet wide. The where only ten inches between the shelves. That way you can have just one section that will hold a bunch of potatoes.
