www.tractorbynet.com is a good place for compact tractor discussions. Me, I hate the hydro trannies (steal power & reduce feed-back to the operator...) & plastic & electronic new tractors. You'll find a lot of that 'tude from around here. :) I really like my NH 1720 tho - nice manual shift, not too much plastic yet.... The things you mention as good features sound like future nightmares to me, but I'm used to putting 1000 hours a year on my various tractors & need to keep them running without spending $95 an hour for labor. So, the less flash & plastic, the better.... I think in the end, it is your coin flip on those 2 - it will come down to the money & which one feels better to your back side... Not much of any other difference. Both engines come from good Japaneese stock, and the rest is all just bolted on stuff of about equal value. If it were me, I would be comparing the loader lift capacity to the extra money to make my choice as those are the only 2 things I see of value in your list, but that is what would be important to _me_. You need to sort out the fine points of what is important to you. Is the hyd output something you will need/ use - the gpm is actually pretty close in the same range - but if you have a _need_ then it could be important???? Are you getting extra ports on the tractor? You need to define how you are going to use your tool, & buy the tool that does the things you need. And so on. --->Paul

The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
