grandpa farmed a 3/4 section with an 8N ford and a 41 JD A. grandpa like the ford better. it would pull the plow up hill. The JD could only plow down hill. When he picked corn he pulled the MM 2 row picker with the Ford and the Wagons with the JD A. The Ford had a faster PTO speed. he used the Ford for plowing,disking,hay mowing/raking, bale moving,(he had a fork and moved roto bales one at a time.) he also had a lister and cultivator.
The Ford did as much or more of the hard work.
I have a 9n. And get along fine with it. it starts good hot or cold. The problem people have with N's. Is they try to put a 6ft mower behind it, then try to mow foot tall weeds in 3rd gear.
You need a Ford 800 for that. If you mow with an N you need to mow when the weeds are just above your ankles.
