Allan: I just don't understand your response. Where I live, a typical 8N will bring $1,000 more than an M. That is why I have so many M's. They are too much of a bargain. So, if both tractors are in average shape, it looks like the guy is offering a fair deal. If I had an 8N, I would trade straight across to get an M, but I would take the boot as well. Just because I disagree with market economics is no reason to ignore them. Carlton: It sounds like a fair deal, but always buyer beware. The seller may just want a three point but doesn't have the gumption to install one himself. I have no use for a three point, but the add on three points work well, and with the right valve setup, you will get up and down pressure. I disagree that wide fronts turn over easier. They are a little softer ride but not much. I far prefer narrow front for both easy steering and clearance. You can go lots of tight places with a narrow front you can't get with a wide front both because you can turn sharper and don't have that wheel sticking out to interfere. Baling square bales, avoiding the previous round's bales at corners is a snap with a narrow front. With a wide front, you either abandon part of the windrow or stop, get off, move a bale, and get back on.
