Oddly enough, I own BOTH a 1954 Ferguson TO-30 and a 1945 Ford 2N.

I personally use the 2N more, but that is because I am afraid to use the Ferguson!

I think that the Ferguson is a better tractor than the Ford because:

It has a newer, stronger engine.
Heavier in the rear.
MUCH better brakes.
4 speed trans.
And seems to be stronger on the 3 point lift.

Also, it is really nice to be able to just trip a lever, and flip the hood open to work on stuff, can't do that with a 2N.

I think that the biggest difference is the brakes. The 2N's system is useless, at least on the right side!!! The Ferguson is basically and 8N, and that is clearly what REPLACED the 2N.

Not a lot of difference, but diffidently better in a few distinct areas.... Bryce
