: i recently purchased a ford 8n, the man who sold it to me said it was rated for 45hp....after taking the tractor home, i did some checking and found out it is less than 30hp and will not pull the 3 bottom plow i bought. I returned to the guy i purchased the tractor from and confronted him regarding the 45hp claim, he stood by that statement and said "i gave you the metric horsepower"...has anybody ever heard of that? is this overall clad tractor trader some kind of con artist? anyone interested in a 3 bottom plow? (it can't even lift it..much less pull it)

Dave, I'd say the chances that the guy that got you doesn't even know what metric is. He sure doesn't know anything about an 8N (or just chose to lie) if he had you getting anywhere near three plows with it. No sir, that's one of those deals where he got you once shame on him, but if he gets you again it'll be shame on you. A horsepower is a horsepower, no matter which side of the water you're on. Have a good day sir. John
