B&D, I have a MF 165 diesel which is a good tractor but I would consider my Ferguson TO-20 which is similar to the Ford N's to be a much safer tractor for the work that I do. The larger tractor is unhandier to climb on, the brakes are harder to set, it doesn't shift as nice, there is less visibility and it is not as nimble as the smaller tractor.

I have done it myself in a pinch to pull something out and pulling way more than I should have with the front wheels in the air. Now if all of the old 1940's John Deere's came with the N type three point hook up and people raised up the draw bar to do things they should not do they would also be dangerous and there would be a lot more people using them for projects like the people with the N's do.
