I don't any more. I used it with a bush hog once. Lack of weight and lack of overrunning clutch made mowing with it too d... exciting. I have a MF-135 now that for about the same price as an 8N with twice the weight and nearly twice the HP has 12 speeds foward, 4 reverse, and power steering. Some days its for sale. I'm in Iowa though and hauling would be a pain to Texas or PA. It has relatively new (in terms of hours) clutch plates for both the drive and the PTO clutches and near new rear tires. The double clutch allows for PTO continuing to run while stopping the tractor. I've used it with a 9' mower conditioner in heavy alfalfa at 4 to 5 mph. Its more than twice the tractor of an 8N. It plows and disks decently. The 8N spins and digs holes. Gerald J. Follow Ups: Post A Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Chinese tractors...what's the scoop?
