Topic

question regarding the old Fords - what kind of HP (particularly at the PTO) do they typically have? I have a small farm, maybe 5.5 acres of field to work (basically flat or slight grade). Mostly bush hog, some post holes to dig etc. Could an old Ford handle that? I have been shopping the NH and Kubotas, figure i need 25-30 HP. But i have seen many 9n's and 8n's for sale - and i know NOTHING about them. Any one with sound advice?
Thanks!

That makes sense - also true with any engine (that depends on a cooling system).

With regards to longevity/dependability, do you have opinion on HST vs. gear? Again - i am new to the tractor world, but intuition (and postings) tells me the gear tranny is a more logical choice....
