I see alot of people on their new tractors with headphones and ear plugs in... I can't run my tractor without hearing, smelling, and feeling the heat it generates to know how shes runnin... Of course none of the gauges work on her either (52 8n).
You are not using the automatic draft control lever located under the seat . If in draft mode you set depth and the hydraulic control on the 8 N will keep the plow at the right depth also ,if you ate using a 12” shear then only plow 6” deep or if you are using a 14” shear plow only 7” deep. Set your rolling colter only deep enough to cut the sod . Best advice is to get a book for the make of plow and tractor . I see so many people with equipment and not taking the time to set it up and learn how to use it so it does a proper job . Do not take this the wrong way. I’m just trying to help you out. Good luck.
Looking forward to plowing and discing my garden for the first time this spring with my resurrected 51 8n. Cant believe shes 70 years old. Thanks for the inspiration!
I generally don't ever listen to country music, but that song is perfect. Want a farm in u.p. Michigan when I retire and enjoy an 8n with family and friends
Good ol’ Red Belly! That’s about you needed here in the foothills of NC raising tobacco and vegetables. Along with a Farmall cub. Simple times,had all we needed and some to spare. Good video man, brings back good times!
Great video, great song choice too! My Dad and I used to plant a 5 acre pumpkin patch and the working up the soil was my favorite part of it. I miss the pumpkin patch but I really miss my Dad, your brought back some good memories with this video, thanks TJ
That boy has those plows set right, level front to back, and level side to side. They were not designed not to plow over about 6 to 7 inches deep. Notice how it don't pull the tractor to death when he drops those plows down. Grew up on one of those little tractors and I still love to see them work!
That my friend is probably one of the best videos I have seen. Camera person has great skills couldn't have picked a better song myself. I am a huge old tractor fanatic as I have three N series. Keep up the good work and please more videos.
8- n works better with a disc plow that's what came with them in 52 that's when my grandpa bought his 8n 1952 brand new!!! Those were hard days plowing 12 acres with 2 gang plow LoL
Everyday Life if you have softer soil good chances a dearborn 2x14 (2 bottom 14”) for harder/clay soils a 2x12 plow should do fine. an 80x80’ garden or less get a 12” or 14” single bottom plow will do just fine, and in my opinion is better for a smaller area plus it’s easier on the tractor for such a short run. or just go to your farm and home/rural king/tractor supply and get one of there 1 or 2 bottom plows County line, king cutter they are the same plow with different stickers lol so any of them are fine and try to use the draft control when set up properly and there is fluid in the tires and the correct pressure on these 9,2 and 8n’s you won’t spin the tires and you don’t have to play with the lever the whole time, i have a 2 acre garden here and i do everything from tomatoes to potatoes and i use my 1950 8n for everything from plowing discing to cultivation. when it’s set up right these tractors perform perfectly
Was the three point hitch control (the little lever) in the position control notch, or in the draft control notch? You shouldn't have to play with the lever all of the time.
The 8n he is on does have draft control but also has implement control. I believe he is in implement control that's why he's working the lever. Don't know why he's not in draft control? when set up properly it's works like a dream. Wheel weights would have also help.
Wool Creek Farm all Ns had draft but only 8ns had position control. In tough soil a lot of moving if draft load to regain traction especially if plowing deeper. Also if your draft spring on the top link is too tight, a lot of hunting occurs. I too had a tendency to continually adjust it on my 2Ns when young. Couldn’t sit and let it move up and down naturally. Great video but the plows were cutting off to the right meaning it is slightly turned toward the right or left link on plow needs turned slightly forward no more than 1/4”
I'm looking forward to plowing my potatoes. I have not used the plow yet. However I did finish bush hogging 40 acre field with only breaking the shear pin twice..
esse Ford tá com motor diesel ou gasolina aqui no os Ford a gasolina está todo abandonado aqui a gasolina é muita cara nos anos 70 os que trator a gasolina preferiam arar com cavalos e bois só os fazendeiros tinham condições de comprar tratores diesel
Feel free to check out this video with no music.

no need for music, the sound of the engine is the only thing that matters
I like the music
I had to turn it down. This generation has ruined country music.
Yes i agree...Let that little 2.0 Liter engine roar!
I see alot of people on their new tractors with headphones and ear plugs in... I can't run my tractor without hearing, smelling, and feeling the heat it generates to know how shes runnin... Of course none of the gauges work on her either (52 8n).
@@tannertuner country went from outlaws to sell outs.
Those lil tractors grew America...countless acres of this country tilled and harvested...🇺🇸

I can't believe that I'm almost 66.

Rather hear the tractor than that new crap country!!!!
Indeed!
This generation has ruined country music
New country uhhhh😨
That was perfect with the song in the background it made me want to be plowing again can’t wait till spring lol
nice tractor and plow combo looking at this video I miss my 8N
I'm thankful I still have my 8n's one was my dad's I have had those old tractors a long time. Thanks for sharing
Good ol’ Red Belly! That’s about you needed here in the foothills of NC raising tobacco and vegetables. Along with a Farmall cub. Simple times,had all we needed and some to spare. Good video man, brings back good times!
that ol girl chuggin away at the 1:55 brings great memories. learned to drive on a '52.
Great video, great song choice too! My Dad and I used to plant a 5 acre pumpkin patch and the working up the soil was my favorite part of it. I miss the pumpkin patch but I really miss my Dad, your brought back some good memories with this video, thanks TJ
totally thought of my dad too...his little 8N and him....
That boy has those plows set right, level front to back, and level side to side. They were not designed not to plow over about 6 to 7 inches deep. Notice how it don't pull the tractor to death when he drops those plows down. Grew up on one of those little tractors and I still love to see them work!
A year later, divorced,just listened to this 6 straight times... I'm getting that farm in up Michigan.
I got a 8N can’t wait to do this too!
Getting it done they must have made a million of those tractors
Just want to add, I had an 8-N several years back and I gotta tell you, what a blast to operate. I use it to brush hog.
Great looking ole’ tractor! 👍
That my friend is probably one of the best videos I have seen. Camera person has great skills couldn't have picked a better song myself. I am a huge old tractor fanatic as I have three N series. Keep up the good work and please more videos.
Good ol' ways of the good ol' days with the good ol' American made tractors
I enjoyed my tractors for years. Wish I was able to climb on one today!
Are ya still kicking? That’s what matters
beautiful tractor, nice song
Just picked up a ford jubilee love the sound of the motor
Tired of people putting songs over the engines working
Great video. Perfect song too.
Too bad that someone wouldn’t make these tractors again.
City folk just don't understand what it's like to be on a tractor and the smell of fresh turned ground.
Parabéns pelo vídeo, um ótimo trator.
Love the video
8- n works better with a disc plow that's what came with them in 52 that's when my grandpa bought his 8n 1952 brand new!!! Those were hard days plowing 12 acres with 2 gang plow LoL
Did you try using the draft control. If it’s working that would automatically adjust the depth for how hard it’s pulling.
Nice old tractor, do you have fluid in the rear tires, much less rear tire spinning
Nice ford T8 tractor and 2 furrow plow
Looks like it does a good job I have a Ford 3000 diesel tractor it does good too use it all the time
Good old Fords
awesome video
Andrew Gardner thanks for watching. I hope to get some more up soon.
I have an 8n as well. Plan to post video on here soon doing a start up
Pulls it nice, these little tractors were built for 2 bottoms, no more no less.
Small 2 bottoms. Can’t be more than 12s or maybe 14s
I could happily run this 8N everyday plowing, disking, bush hogging, and any other implement all day everyday till I was old and grey.
Did you have any fluid in the tires? Me and dad just bought a plow and we are concerned about traction since we dont have fluid in the tires
Oldiron Tv there is fluid in the tires. Even so in some parts you could see tire spin. We simply raised the plow slightly and continued.
That's cool I just bought an old 9n kinda wanna get a plow for it
Great video but don't need the no singing music. Need to fine tune that plow until it throws the dirt so smooth it is level like the road.
Ferguson 12 inch plow?
although you said nothing I got the info I needed lol
20 hp pulling 2 bottom nice !!!!
Hello, can i ask how big is the turning plow? I am looking for a plow myself for my 1949 8n. Please help

Getting a "full flip" of the soil. Plow is adjusted just rite.
My good buddy just gave me a Ford 9n today
That girl is working the field.
What gear do you plow in? Thanks for sharing!
That look like third gear on a Four speed transmission
Is this a 12 or 14 inch bottoms?
Look's like you need to adjust the plow a little fore and aft. Also front to back.
I had a 8n. Couldn't keep it from running hot when I was working it hard.
I rode a lot of miles on the fender with my feet on the axcel with my Dad.
What gear do I start in when I plow..
4th
Therapy!
ive got some mo gumbo that will stop little henry
Wasnt this the sausage short left ear bottom?
Great vid minus the music
I have a version without music posted as well. Thanks for watching.
Do the Ns have draft control? I assume not and that is what he is doing with his right hand?
thastinger345 he was adjusting it to regain traction in most cases
Was the three point hitch control (the little lever) in the position control notch, or in the draft control notch? You shouldn't have to play with the lever all of the time.
The 8n he is on does have draft control but also has implement control. I believe he is in implement control that's why he's working the lever. Don't know why he's not in draft control? when set up properly it's works like a dream. Wheel weights would have also help.

...want to hear the tractor...I'll turn the radio on if I want music...
We have a ford 8n tractor and we can't get ours started and running
May manh quá
I'm looking forward to plowing my potatoes. I have not used the plow yet. However I did finish bush hogging 40 acre field with only breaking the shear pin twice..
We want to hear the engine , NOT the music
Very good but your front tires are not single rib original
Looks like you need water in your tires.
Like the music what is everybody going to be so hateful
music christ almighty
esse Ford tá com motor diesel ou gasolina aqui no os Ford a gasolina está todo abandonado aqui a gasolina é muita cara nos anos 70 os que trator a gasolina preferiam arar com cavalos e bois só os fazendeiros tinham condições de comprar tratores diesel
I agree no need for the music especially country music
Music makes me think of two gay cowboys from Dallas Ft Worth
We had a Ford 8N. My happiest day with that tractor was seeing it leave the farm on the back of the JD dealers truck.
Aww cute little 30hp thing
23 hp
I would of liked it better if could of heard the engine, tractor than the music was you showing the tractor or the radio.
8n Ford Plowing (no music)

Thanks for watching. Check out the other videos on my channel including the plowing video without music
Want to hear the tractor not some song.
...no music next time...PLEASE!...
Can't hear the tractor dammit.
I can’t watch it because of the music
The music ruined the video
Quit watching because of music over motor
I have another video just like it without the music
Awesome tractor, shit music tho
Spare us the crappy tunes
Nice but stop the stupid music.
Can't watch with this crap music 🤮
