My only regret is that I didn't make the largest tractor 70 to 90 hp.

Actually with the tax write-offs, it isn't really difficult to justify a "second" and "third" and more tractors. We have a small Kubota (23 hp) for gardening, finishing mowing etc, a larger Kubota (50 hp) with a front-end loader and back-hoe attached for all kinds of general purpose work, and a larger MF 155 (55hp) for mowing, hay handling, large tasks. My only regret is that I didn't make the largest tractor 70 to 90 hp.

Sure is nice to have options for the task at hand.

Yep... more is better.

I can't relate the number of times that I've used another tractor or two, to work on a 3rd tractor.

For instance.. a non runner gettting sheet metal work needs a tender or tug to drag it around the yard and get it into position, while another tractor with a loader or gin pole has the tinwork suspended on it... etc.

This is how i did my 8N.. using my NAA and then, NH 1920 and gin pole.... etc.. after a steering reapir on the 8n.. etc. ( hood and gastank are a single assembly..

I would like to find an 8N or 9N, I think they are great looking tractors.

Fairly easy to work on too...( except for a few things ) Lots of parts support.
