If you are looking at Ford '100' series tractors and want a live pto, be sure it is a x6x series tractor to have live pto. Like a 860, or 661, or.... If someone trys to sell you an 800 tractor - ask questions. There was no actual 800 built. That middle digit tells you the options it has. The serial number is on the left side of the tractor, below the air cleaner. It will tell you the model # also - hand stamped, can be quite light or covered in paint.

You are correct, the N's did not have live pto, some even did not have live hyd which means you can't operate the 3-pt & pto independently....

You'll like a loader for rock work.... Your call tho. I would not think 4wd is important if you get a good old cast iron tractor & weight it properly.
