My dad told me of a neighbour of his back in the 40s that farmed at least 100 acres with an 8n, but of course it ran 24 hours a day with 3 of his sons driving it in shifts. I think start with what you can afford and work up later. You will likely loose money over time on machinery unless you buy extremely well and are very lucky. I started farming 160 acres with an IH 275 22 years ago, but soon got fed up with it and traded for a JD 2130. The more features you can get for the money, the nicer your life will be, but what else is new? An 8n may be too small for pulling out stumps, and a loader on it will make you swear. They used to have 3 point hitch loaders around for them, but then you are always looking over your shoulder. Have Fun!

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
