Royce, I think you said basically what I said with a little twist. I used my 8N just yesterday to bore a hole for a post. No muss, no fuss. Hope on, locate, set the brake, and down we go. No argument from me that a well tended 8N has a lot of useful jobs.
I was amazed that I could brush hog an acre of high grass and light brush at 7000' elevation. I had a sharp blade on the mower, and my tractor is in top condition. It wasn't fast, and some of the spots really drug down slow. I started with the mower at the high setting, and made a second pass somewhat lower.
Like I said, a bit extra time, a bit slower, and keep all arms and legs moving all the time. There are pics on here of me putting up roof trusses with my loader and an extension made of drill stem. I Bladed a country road last month after some rains, and I had to adjust the blade angle down a bit, but we got the job done.
8N is a darn useful tool if it's kept up. I have a concern that many of the little tractors are not tuned well, or losing compression, or bad mixture or all of those issues and more.
I'm in the market for a 3000 just because. No rush, waiting for the right rig, and right deal. I'll still keep the 8N though.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
