Topic: Just realized something obvious and overlooked
Just read this topic and cant believe how some of you guys got "revved up" and quite irate about the Ford 9N/2N tractors.
The fact is that Harry Ferguson invented the rear 3 point hitch with converging linkage & depth control in the early 1930"s. These basic principals are used Worldwide today [in varying forms by different tractor manufacturers].
His original Ferguson Model A tractor constructed by David Brown was not a comercial nor mechanical success. It took Fergusons joint venture with Ford to produce the Ford 9N/2N which was a great improvment and a great tractor in its day.
Ferguson went on to produce his own Ferguson 20 in England & USA which was even better - almost perfect. Over the years it was developed further under MF ownership into the excellent MF135 - and that statement is from me a Fordson Enthusiast.
No one manufacturer has ever produced the PERFECT TRACTOR nor will they. Look at the hundreds of models each manufacturer builds to-day - a vain attempt to make something for every farmer & farming operation.
History has been made by several tractor and implement manufacturers with unique and inovative designs, setting the standards for others to follow.
So why get "revved up" and start mud-slinging with "mines better than yours" - "purple are better than pink coloured tractors". We all buy what suits our farming operation and capital budget, often dictated to by local dealer service back up.

Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
