You like your 8N but just need a bit more tractor so I say stick with as close as you can be and get the extra features you want and need. So that means a Ford In a 860 or 861 model or the 4000 equivilent of those that are the same utility style you presently have and like but have a 5 speed transmission and a PTO that is live being that if you want to make a normal stop of tractor to keep implement running you can, If you have to make a panic stop just hit the clutch and push all the way down, that will stop both tractor and implement. You go newer you get independant PTO that I had and did not like becauseif you have to make that panic stop you not only have to remember the clutch but also will be hunting for a unhandy extra lever to grab to be able to stop the implement. I was used to doing everything without a live pto and never missed it driving a tractor all the time for 25 years before got that independant pto. Was just what dealer had when we needed a tractor and I was dumb on the live-independant PTO system. With one of those models you can use anything from your 8N that you should very heavily consider keeping as doing that you can rake the hay just ahead of the baler and when you get a load on wagon easy to unhook the rake unless a 3 point hitch model to hook the 8N to an empty wagon and pull in the loaded one before going back raking. And perhaps get hay up and in before the rains come. And all three tractor models can have the hydrolic hookup put on for the mower-conditioner. And you will have all the power you need for those jobs. A Massey Ferguson 65 or 165 is very close to the 3 Fords but some mounted implements you now have may not mount. The 35 or 135 is smaller the same as an Oliver S55 that is made in same style you are used to and like with minor differences in operation. You like and are used to operation of your 8N so I would recemond you stick with something very simular that would not realy confuse you in learning operation and have an acident because of it. Other tractors are good but you if you like the handling of your 8N would just confuse you and possibly make you have an acident and not have all the features you want or should have for safty. You go to something like the Farmall they are so much different in handling you would be likely to have an acident but they are good for what they were designed for and that was not a novice to operate.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
