The only advantage the 8N Ford had when it was brand new, was Harry Ferguson's three point hitch. Despite their popularity as acreage tractors, there are other tractors, of all colors, that are way better tractors than an 8N Ford, for no other reason than they're newer. I'm not, but if I was in the market for a tractor of your description, I'd look for a IH 454. I ran one for a couple of years in the early '70's, and it was a great little tractor. Live hydraulics and three point, live dual PTO, power steering and brakes, gas or diesel engine. We pulled a Kosch double bar mower, two NH bar rakes, did Bush Hog mower, and five foot roto-tiller work with it in the spring and summer, then put a loader on, and loaded and ran a feed wagon with it all fall and winter. Ours was a gas engine model, and always started and ran dependably, and efficiently, and was used pretty much every day, year round. This may be a tractor that will be at the upper end of your price range, perhaps even over it, but is absolutely way more tractor than an 8N Ford. And again, it, along with many others, are way better tractors, and a way better value, for the dollars spent, than an 8N Ford. Good luck!! :wink:

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.
