There are tons and tons of two row planters to be had. Most are approx 40-50 years old. Most have 38" row spacing. Assuming that's not an issue (30" rows are now pretty much the standard) then look into the condition of the planter. If it has a fertilizer attachment it will most likely be rusted. If you look long enough and hard enpogh, you might find one with the original paint on it and very little wear sitting in a shed somewhere. If you have a pickup truck you can haul it home. Three point or not is not terribly important as the pull behinds work well. Limiting factor with an 8N will be the weight if you insist on three point. An N will support 500-600 lbs but not much more. Any more than that will require weights on the front of the tractor and even then I doubt that that little tiny hydraulic system will lift more that about 800 lbs on those skinny little Cat 1(-) lift arms. The better made and designed planters were JD and IH but there were others as well.
