the dexta has a good reputation, in england, lots of folks love them, over here, the main problem as mentioned is parts for them, these are a huge step up from a 8n ford, if your looking for a using tractor the 8n would be more user friendly, as parts are all over for them, now that being said you need to realize the N series ford has some shortcomings when compared to a modern tractor, you need to have enough 'tractor savey' to work with these shortcomings and power avaliable they will do the job on anything smaller than about 25 acres, but it will take some seat time to do it, and for certain operations you may need to take a old school approach to the job ie instead of a modern 3 point tiller, to prepare crop beds ect you need to plow, disc, and harrow, turns out about the same, takes 3 times longer, lol they make good mowing tractors and will run a 5 foot brush hog, but the N does not have live pto, like modern tractors do, you really must run a overrunning clutch on the pto, it cost 60 bucks and up, but it will prevent the brush hog from backdriving the tractor thru its transmission when you misjudge the clearance between you and your wife's new car,or the house ect you will be able to stop immediately instead of 50 to 60 feet later, also on the 8n, the pto must be engauged to lift the implement, which can present more issues with a brush hog, all solvable and for the price a good N is a great deal
