Joe, I have had a 1952 Ford 8N with the Sherman two speed for about 13 years and it does most of what I need on my about 7 acres. It will plow, disc and will even pull a 48 blade 3 pt. tiller in low range. It bush hogs good but you need an over riding clutch. Recently I bought another Ford, a 1962 801 Powermaster 861 Diesel. It"s about twice the tractor as the 8N and the diesel is a sipper. I got it in good running condition for $3000.00 and now the little 8N wonders why I don"t use it as much. But I"m keeping both as I now have a 15KW PTO generator for the 861 and I keep a blade on the 8N. 3 point hitch and live PTO are great. Dwight
