The 8N deal was the 3pt, with the weight of the implement and the suck of the plow transferred to the tractor they had better -traction- generated than other tractors with pulled equipment. In some cases that was worse, but for traction and lugging along it was better and certainly featured as 'more pull' and if folks got confused and thought that made it a more powerful tractor I'm sure the dealers/manufaturer didn't mind.....
Oliver's were well liked by my ancestors, both my dad and moms side of the family. I have cousins on both sides that clollected them, as in 23 sitting in the sheds..... They were a good tractor in their day, a little mismanagement and drift and bad cycle in the ag economy took them out, but they had some good engineering in their day with features before the others had them.

Competition was a good thing back then, good features and progress came about. Now as we move to one or two global manufacturers, we are left with whatever they want to sell us, take it or leave it.
