This is hardly a trend, unless something that's been going on since the sixties can be called a "trend". The 8N has been the preferred tractor for gentleman farmers for decades. Why? It's small, not much bigger than a garden tractor, but it LOOKS like a real tractor. And because they're common, they're popular.
