I was in a hurry earlier and just realized this should have posted under one of the lower posts. I will also take this opportunity to rely my grandfather's account (via my father). In spring 1940, the local Ford dealer brought out a 9N to try. It only took him two hours to figure that the 9N did not fit his needs. Biggest complaint was it ran out of power with 2 - 14's on the heavy flats (as well as not having the row crop profile) and he was not going to consider a smaller plow.
