OK, someone needs a hug and an education. I pulled a 2-14 plow with a late 40's 8N no problem. I graduated from an 8N to an For 860 this year.
Now as far as the tractor. I've seen/heard of just about any type of tractor getting flipped. Use it wrong and they flip. Most often it's either getting on too steep a hill or trying to jerk something while hooked up wrong. In other words operator error. Heck we had a local kid here flip a 1066 IH open station tractor on a dry paved road. Nothing attached, wide front. Just out there on the highway in road gear playing the fool. He won't do that again. He did not survive. I have yet to hear about a tractor roll over caused by design flaws. Every one I've heard of was caused by operator error or lack of maintenance (like brake failure cause by leaking seals). Heck we had an old guy here roll a Farmall H on himself on a dry paved road. Going downhill, square baler and partially loaded wagon and he tried to make a turn onto another road.
I will agree that the brakes can be an issue if the rear axle seals leak. Fix the leak and fresh brakes and they work. It's that simple.
What you are looking at is not an late 40's 9N. The 9N was introduced in 1939. The 2N in 1942 and the 8N in 1948. Same family just improvements through the years. If someone is telling you it's a late 40's 9N they either don't know any better or are lying.
I myself would recommend something a bit newer too. 6XX or 8XX, 2 or 3000.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
