Best tractor ever made! Problem is that people want it to do what it wasnt designed for. Its a small 3pt machine thats it! Mine has been running since 52 and on its fourth generation in my family. My Grampa and my Dad hammered maintaining equipment into us. Most people run their equipment until it fails then get a huge bill or just shove it into the fenceline and forget about it. My Oldest niece(16) can run it as well as my brother or me. My oldest(12) learned alot this winter about snowplowing with it helping dad out on jobs. Although she prefers the heated Cat(Spoiled child;)). I still use it on jobs were I need something small and handy like around foundations to grade and level. Everybody on the job always wants to come over and talk about the 8n when I've bring onsite. Oldtimers and young guys think its great. Never ask me about the brand new 416 Cat. Only one engine rebuild and one coat of paint in 60 years! Always starts, the only costs are fuel and oil and the occasional shot of grease, cant say the same any other equipment I have. Grampa went from horse teams to the 8n, now I'm trying to relearn how to use horse teams from a Amish friend. I love it and hopefully it will still be running in 60 years.

The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is. I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction, ... [Read Article]
