I have a Ford 2N without live hydraulics, or live PTO. Here's what works and what doesn't. >>>>bush hogging my field no problem....as others said, get an overuning clutch ($40) for safety. >>>>road work with bucket and grader blade>> no problem, though live hydraulics are a plus. Position control (where you lift the implement to where you want it and it stays) is important. Many old tractors don't have this. 8N's do, 2N's and 9N's don't, but you can add an accesory (called a "Zane Thang" check the N board if you buy an N)to give them this capability. >>>possibly some minor logging yes, but learn about safety. tractors aren't really designed for this, and this is the way you get killed, if you don't be careful. Never hitch anything to a point above the rear axle.
>>>moving some snow banks One of the only disappointments about m 2N I have is that I can't hook up a snowblower. You need live PTO for that. I use a back blade, and move a lot of snow. I live in Rochester NY, and we get a lot of snow. With chains she works great with a backblade.
>>>and occassionally helping my neighbor hay his fields. Pulling wagons or a PTO ror graound driven rake is fine, but bailing without live PTO is a challange. Since bailing usually requires enough concentration, it's a lesson in frustration without live PTO. I know a few guys who do it, but it's a challenge, and they have bigger tractors, and it's on flat ground. Good Luck, I hop this helps.

New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
