: I would like a little insight as long as we are talking about Ford tractors. : I know little about tractors, however, I have asked probably a dozen Farmers about 8n's and 2n's. to see if they are good tractors. Almost without exception, I get reactions of laughter. I have been given the iMpression that most professional farmers feel that these tractors were a joke even in there time. I am told that they did not have live pto and needed to be overhauled almost yearly when seriously worked. : I am also told that they were way to light to do any serious field work. Am I asking the wrong people or are these tractors popular for some reasons that have not been brought to my attention? It depends on what you want: a historical piece or the best tractor you can get for the money. I've used an 8N, NAA, T-20 Fergie & 800 series Ford quite a bit. All of them had a better engine than the 8N. It's still not a bad tractor, it's jus that you can spend approx the same money and get one of the other similar, more advanced tractors.
