I don't think I'd recommend the very early Fords or Fergies. These tractors are light and pull well with their 3 point implements, but draft control is very important. I'd tend to look for one built after the mid 50s. By that time the draft control was very much improved. Hydraulics and PTO had become live by then, ( no interuption of power to either when stopping or shifting gears)

You'll pay very little more for a MF 35 or a Ford 600, than for an 8N Ford or 2085 Fergie. I'd buy a Farmall H or a JD 50 with an aftermarket 3 point before I'd go with 8N or 2085. The H or the 50 will pull a two bottom plow without draft control. Bear in mind I am talking about tractors your going to work a bit. 8N's generally are way over priced as a work tractor. The 2085 not quite so bad on price.
