Laurie's owned her New Holland more than twenty years. The front-end loader has had lots of purposes, not least of which have been lifting heavy corral panels, pushing them into place, re-righting leaning corner posts, carrying poop-laden bucketfuls out to compost piles, snow scooping, etc.

I found this website. I'm sure you still miss your 8N, but I hope it brings back good memories.

"Something that set Henry Ford apart from many tractor manufacturers is that he grew up on a farm, and he fully grasped the importance that tractors had for the overall performance of the farm.

Because of his background, Ford practically made it a mission to create the best tractor that the world had ever seen to help keep farm production at its peak. Henry Ford accomplished just that with the Ford N-Series tractors."
