I have a 1951 TO-20 Ferguson that is close to the same thing as an 8N Ford and I bet that I can work circles around your little compact tractor. With a box blade, scoop and Landscape rake I can do a dirt moving landscape job a lot quicker than one of those compacts or a clumsy larger tractor. The same thing with a rotary mower or a finish mower. That being said, the 4WD is nice for backing up when loading a scoop because of the traction. Forward it doesn't make much difference. It is also nice for holding back traction when going down a steep hill such as a logging road. The live power and hydraulics are also nice but I can easily work around them for what I do. Beggars can't be choosers. One thing that I don't like about the hydrostatic transmission is all of the power that it uses to run it. It is nice for easy reversing though. I was using my sons compact with a scoop for hauling a pile of dirt and because of the power loss with the hydrostatic, I would have to go in a lower gear to load and for any incline then stop and shift to the next gear for the flat area. With my Ferguson which I shift on the go I would have been long gone.
