The 8N has a bit more power and you can get an aftermarket hitch that bolts to the differential housing that is what you need if you pull a trailer or anything else like that, the 9N and 2N that a lot of people mistake for a 9N are 3 speed tractors and do not have a position control that the 8N does on the 3 point hitch. The 9-2N have only the 11 hole cross drawbar to pull with and with a hitch pin load it will move around too much for safty. And having been around the 2N for 64 years and am 64 years old have never ever heard of anybody except Buick and Deere that had problems with overturning. Lot more Deere and Allis have been overturned than Fords. For you the lower the tractor the better, do not buy a row crop trycical type tractor. I have both a 41 9N and a 44 2N bought new in may of 44. That 2N has done every job on the farm for years. Plowed, disked, harrowed, planted, cultivated, mowed, raked, baled, pulled combine on PTO, pulled forage harvester on PTO, pulled corn picker PTO. The people that think a Ford is too small to do work just grew up with the larger farms of the west than the smaller farms of the east. Used manure loader for many years also. For your use sounds like a 8N would be better because of the position control on the 3 point hitch. I would like the brakes to use better on the 8N as well as you have both sides good turning brakes with both brakes with seperate pedals on the right, safer than the combination clutch-left brake on the 2-9N tractors. You do need that overrunning clutch on the pto tho and the same is tru for the newer tractors with the 4 speed transmissions and the 5 speed tractors that do not have live PTO. They are both good, just have to know what you are doing and fit the implements to them.
