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. He was told that 9N would turn as much ground as a Farmall M in the same amount of time. His health even at that time was not the best and whatever he bought had to be easy on him for comfort. He really wanted the Deere GM (this was a couple years after the 9N demo) because it handled 3 - 14's where ever it went and the price was right. In the end, he bought the Farmall M we have today because he thought was easier on his body and was generally was a good tractor. He removed the third bottom in the heavy fields.
