Around here a one bottom is worth as much or more than a two. Maybe it's because of our claey loam soil that is too tough for one of these small tractors to pull two bottoms. BTDT I bought a 2-14 Dearborn to pull behind a 2N and it was pretty well a failure. Not enough traction. So I bought a set of wheel weights and tried it and just plumb didn't have enough horsepower even with a good running N. So I bought a Ferguson one bottom like you describe and it was a good match for the N. Plowed deep and steady. Most folks forget that though these Ns were designed to pull two 14s it was in lighter soils or land that was being worked every year. Most of us nowadays are trying to break sod with them for a deer plot or a garden and 2 bottoms are just too much for an N to pull. I loaned my 2-14 to a neighbor with an Ford 850 = 40+ hp. That was a good combo breaking sod even though the 850 was a 3 bottom tractor. I would NOT pass up a decent 1-16" Ferguson for a hundred dollars.
