Everybody bashes 8Ns.They are good little tractors.Troulble is,most today are past worn out'so ofcourse they run like crap(havnt beened tunedup inmany yrs),have little power,and wont lift much anymore(but they STILL run).if you had the right equipment and used like they were designed to be used and not overloaded them,youcould get a lot of work done.When I was akid in KS in the late 50s and 60s,my dad farmed wheat and milo .his 52 8N was his only tractor,he had all the right,matching equipment.for few yrs,he had 160 acres,AND worked full time in the oil fields.when he finally bought a combine,it was a IH SP123.In 1966 dad bought a brand new GMC pickup.it was/is extra heavy duty.that was his grain truck,Dad put on very tall side boards and loaded erup.Istill remember the truck lift at the elevator.I still own that pickup today.Dad died in 04 at age 82. Thanks,Steve
