new speed record for 8N ford,....101.169 MPH. think how fast you could get yer hay raked with that one.

what i want to know is who was crazy enough to get on that thing and drive it

ohiojim · Jul 8, 2016

jack Donahue, he was a former nascar driver...it is called the 8NCREDIBLE

It would be entertaining to see what the rake would do to hay at 101 MPH. But I wouldn't be the one looking back from the tractor seat.

I can only imagine all the strange shapes the tires took at that speed...

No person could stand going that fast over a hay field.Since someone has gone crazy with it maybe they could install an autopilot as well.

If you dropped one out of a plane from high enough I imagine it could get going faster than that.

That would be quite a ride no reason you couldnt build an 8n to go that fast wonder what he used for rear tires.

for sure , had to have some modifications to the frontend and rear tires ,, , hi speed wobble is deadly ..

Bring it on man ! I've had my JD 60 over 11.5 mph !

You could throw the hay all the way across the field into one big windrow.

Years ago Dad traded in a 8n or 9n with the sherman transmission. It would really move but I never did get it wound out as the front wheels started wobbling so bad it scared me. Tom

This one is more in the marathon class rather than the sprint
