Nobody like to have their own, Dad"s or Grand Dad"s favorite slighted. Ford, JD, AC, IH, Oliver, you name it. It applies to all.
As for the statement that "with the loaded attached to the three point at full height. And once it raise so far the three point will start to pull the front end down again".
Oh please. That"s just silly. By the time the tractor"s front is high enough so the three point is levering the front down. The tractor is already straight up and moving fast enough she"s coming all the way over anways.
A 8N,2N,9N with a proper fixed drawbar attached to the bottom of the trans case is a whole different deal. Mighty rare find there too.
Too many times the Ford is a little small for the job and the inexperienced driver is jumpy on the clutch. Or takes a running start at the tree stump at the end of the chain. Flipping time.
The other cause for roll-overs etc is the transmission driven pto. Lots of Fords up trees, into fences, posts, ditches, ponds into vehicles with that classic. An over running clutch on Ford is less than 1 in a hundred and closer to 1 in a thousand.
Unless the prospective owner of older machines has a decent shop and all around technical skills. That old tractor is going to run up some shop bills over the next 10 years that will cost more than a new compact tractor.
If you like the old Fords so much. At least tell the guy to spend the same bucks and get a live pto & proper drawbar with the 600, 800 ,3000 or 4000 series for the same money.
You don"t drive a 1939-1953 vintage vehicle on the road every day for a reason. Same goes for farm equipment.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
