The early Fords were innovators and were the perffect tractor for what they were designed to do. The three point hitch became the standard for most utility tractors up until this day. A ford and a 2 botttom plow just could'nt be beat in the 1940's. The Ford is a small tractor and is challenged weight and traction wise.
Intrnational set the standard for row crop tractors and cultivating, Oliver was known for smoth running power, AC was a fine machine but their Eagle two point hitch system forced a farmer to stick with their propriatory implements.
John Deere with their big 2 bangers super long strokes could lug right down to almost nothing and keep on going. John Deere was not known for innovation but for refining existing technology great marketing and dealer network. All old iron was good at something and none was good at everything.
Just my opinion, take it for what it cost you.
