Ford 8n Plowing

[greensaffire]

the only reason the tractor is have problem is because that plow is in the dirt balls deep

[brian93ist]

the 8n has the most hp of the 3

Double bottom plow might be a little much for an 8N.

@brian93ist

I understand what you are saying. In this case though, the ground does not appear to have been recently worked. By the sound, the 8N is clearly struggling in this video.

I should have elaborated more in my previous comment.

@twal1011 right this looks like it has never been worked in a field or garden it shouldn't strain the plow might not be set right

[SmokinDodge]

@brian93ist not to be critical but the plow is definately not adjusted properly. If you watch the right moldboard isn't really turning over any soil. An 8N with a properly adjusted plow should hum along and plow all day long

@twal1011 Depends on the soil. 2 bottom is actually the standard for the "N" tractors. I run my 2 bottom behind my 2N all day long and it just rolls along in the rocky ground here in NJ.

@twal1011 if you have the plow set up correctly it will work good.

Does your Ford have the Sherman Trans? If so, are you in low? I'm considering an 8N, but am concerned with ground speed.

@JBDiscrete if you have a manual i'd say in fourth gear which is the highest and you turn your rpm up i'd say about 12-15 mph, not sure

[brian93ist]

@SuperRam3500 i have seen 9mph on highway that is as fast as i would run one though
