MF Poor, I also had my azz planted on a N when I shouldn't even have been driving one and then later a Ferguson. I probably have more hours on them than many people have on their larger ones. We used a 1940 N Ford for almost everything back then and got it done. We had a C and later a CC Case for the belt power and heavier pulling. We did the plowing tilling planting etc, the whole works with that tractor and we had tough going with steep hillsides. We used it to mow, then widened it out to cultivate then narrowed it back with a handy tractor jack. We hauled in bales then unhooked the wagon so that we could use the Ford to pull up the hay fork. We pulled the both grain and corn binders and for going out and getting the loads of bundles the neighbors would get together and it was mostly Fords and Ferguson's out in the field and an Allis on the threshing machine. I don't know what we would have done without that tractor with all of the implements that we could use. Dad used it to fill in ditches with a scoop and blade. If only he could have had a box blade and landscape rake back then, he would have really shined. Now to the present. I have a small acreage and I use a small Ferguson for 98% of everything I do. I use it for finish mowing, the rougher mowing, and countless landscaping and dirt moving jobs. I also have a MF 165 diesel that I seldom use because It is only needed for the heavier work which I don't have much of. If I tried to do some dirt work around trees and other obstacles it is too large and unhandy even though it has power steering. Every tractor has its place and I am not into large scale farming. My son has a New Holland compact tractor and for most things I can out perform it. Sure you can reverse quickly and it has ROP and 4 wheel drive which is a plus when backing up and pushing a scoop etc but you have to run it almost wide open and listen to that to get any power.
