: I have a Ford 8N that I use around my home. It works just fine,it's very dependable, and it plows up my two acres with no problem. The problem is that I have "green blood" and want to get either a John Deere 40 or 420 with the three hitch to restore and still work around my house.Are there any pros or cons on my decission? Will I have any problem in spring when I drop my plow wishin I kept the Ford? I really need honest input from those who use there model 40's for plowing. Chris Hey there Chris, Take it from a western kansas farmer who owns an 8N Ford and 5 John Deeres (4630, 4640, R, 5010, 8970). Keep the ford,and get ya the Deere also, i know i would. I wear green shorts too, but i love that little 8n for mowing and small work. You will like the Deeres lugging ability for pulling. The Deeres torque really beats the pants off the ford, but remember those long stroke two cylinder engines don't like to be turned to tight. They will run a lot slower and rougher than the 8n's flat four. Well, good luck Brendon
