The trouble with the Ns is that they were so darned successful. And as has been often stated success breeds enemies. A lot of the folks who badmouth the Ns have never owned one. Perhaps their operation is large enough that nothing under 80 hp will do. Some folks grew up with Cases, Minnie Mos, Olivers or Allises and still have the brand loyalty that their father had. Another problem with the Ns that they get so much harping and whining is folks will go buy an N thinking it has all the modern options like live power or decent hydraulics or even God Forbid, decent brakes. They are not modern tractors. They are no more modern than any other tractor of that size and era. Except for one thing. They have a well designed and good working 3 point hitch - something every modern tractor has today. Lets say a guy is looking for an old, cheap, entry level tractor to do a little mowing, back blading the driveway or snow plowing, maybe set a small block engine into the back of a pickup with a boom pole or operate a post hole digger or move a couple dump truck loads of black dirt or gravel with a rear scoop, plow up a garden or deer plot. Which old, cheap, entry level tractor would you suggest he pick to do those entry level tasks? A Farmall C or H? A Case DC? JD H or B? An Allis B or WC? A 40s era Oliver or Moline? I'm talking old stuff here guys. Before 1955. Cheap stuff. Under $2000. Tractors under 30 horse. I think trying to compare an N Ford to a modern tractor is rediculous. Like apples and oranges. And guys who bad mouth them are a lot like the guys who argue over Dodge or Ford or Chevy. My truck is better and yours aint snot. They're ignorant really. Narrow minded too. All of them. Of course there are a few here that just like to bad mouth things because they're proud or just like to be mean. That's fine. We all know those types. Always mocking, heckling, needling and back biting. They're the ones who go to their graves with the nicest tractors. And have the fewest friends show up at their funeral.
