8N? Ford made a lot of them relatively cheap, the 3pt was at the time a safety step above towed plows and other hitchs. Model A type engine was proven, a couple steps up from Fordson T type engine. Had enough power to replace a pair of large horses or a 4 horse/mule team. 8N had a cultivator that could do 2 passes on a corn field, fair hay mower. Competition from Farmall W14/F14, B, C and JD B, AC B- Ford was known as better plow tractor at the time, others could cultivate and turn with mower better. The Ferguson 3pt hitch set a standard for the time of manufacture that is still current. Lot of better/ more featured tractors now- but old 8N can still do a lot of light farm work/ heavy garden work for about 1/2 the price of new garden tractor. IHC super C with fast hitch would be my first choice for 20/25hp tractor, but Ford had already made a lot of 9Ns, 8Ns before fast hitch was on market. RN
