Yep. My neighbor's 8N it's sitting out in the snow as we speak. He must think his 94' Ford ranger is going to be worth something or a "classic" someday. He was out there waxing it when it was about 40 degrees last week. His wife has a new car parked next to the ranger inside the 2-car attached garage. He useually waxes the new car every week. His wife doesn't work and the car just goes to the store once a week etc. He seems bored, has nothing to do. During the summer he finish mows all 5 acres every 3 or 4 days. What a waste of time. He won't even pull the cars out to work on the tractor, he would rather sits on a piece of cardboard on the cold ground to TRY to fix it. His new King-Kutter finish mower is still attached to the 8N and the top link threads are getting rusted up. He will probaly buy a new one instead of using WD-40. This site would help him a lot. I always keep my toplinks under roof over the winter and they have "never-seize" on them anyhow.He has called a professional roll-back tow-truck out to haul the 8N 10 miles to town to get it worked on. Like so many,he is from the city and built a new house on 5 acres and this is his first tractor. We got off to a bad start. When he was driving stakes where the house was going to be, he moved the property line stake over on my side 3 feet because his 10' tape measurements didn't come out right. I am putting up a fence and planting trees out there in the spring. This guy is downright goofy. Nobody take this personal but I say to myself "typical city-boy" with a chuckle when I see whatever he does. Sorry about the length

Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
