There have been discussions on here since the beginning of time on the usefullness of the N series Fords. Some years ago, one wag opined that "They're great for going down to get the mail. . . If you don't have too much mail."
My dad had a 40 cow dairy, from about 1952 to 1962- the only tractor he ever had was an 8N.

There are just so many more modern tractors that can do better.
