Ford 8N Plowing Snow

[@lostinmyspace4910]

Great job! Really impressed w/ the front plow system.

[@BigGuyReview]

GREAT vid! It amazes me how powerful these tractors are. Here you are plowing with a 1949 tractor Pushing snow like it was confetti and here where I am they use 90+ HP tractors with 4 wheel drive. Ok they have heated cabins and you don't but damn I might just get myself and old one like this for a few hundred bucks and use that. Thanks for the video. Keep them coming. Do some extreme snow plowing and show us what that beast can do!

[@coachgeo]

In his other video on this, it was said this is a Dearborn Universal plow. Searching on that brings up a lot of info. Still would like to see him do a more detailed video of the plow mounts, and of the varouse parts in operation.

[@r.d.m6944]

We made a weight box out of a 30gallon drum. Put a round bar through it that fit the 3pt hitch and filled it with concrete. That added weight transformed our same tractor when plowing.

[@MrAlittle5150]

She moves snow pretty good. Very impressed. I think I found what i'm looking for.

[@danbasta3677]

These are excellent tractors. Love Ford tractors.

[@jambocoo]

The old iron can still take care of business, great video, thanks for sharing.

[@johntoothman4888]

What an awesome tractor!! Listen to that motor purr!!!!

[@JerryWick]

I love how this thing snorts through that chrome stack

[@ModernMountainLiving]

Great Video, just sold be on moving forward getting an 8n. Snow and brush and this proves it. Thanks

[@robertblain3193]

I would put a "heat-houser" on it myself. For you young'ns, its like a tent to cover the driver, dash, etc. Uses heat from the engine to make a little more better and it breaks the wind. Just bolts on and off in half hr. or less.

[@Andrew-vo9ev]

I love the good old tractors 🇺🇲👍

[@giathomas8844]

I love your dog 🐕

[@mikemarkes4100]

like the way these old engines sound

[@gittyupalice96]

Its because of the flat head design. Same as a lot of garden tractors and push mowers, except their usually 1 cylinders so you don't realize it.

[@JAKE3914]

awesome old tractors !! my son has a '48.

[@regsparkes6507]

Impressive performance for this size of tractor.

[@cory2146]

That was snow problem for that tractor.

[@desolatesurfer8651]

Obviously those things can plow. What great machines. Too bad they dont make them still.

[@carnelmccarthy1099]

Just missing the near white out wind conditions and it would be just like home.😥

[@EdmundhmlifePEI]

Hope your doing well man been a few years since you posted

[@DesertDigger1]

We cut a 55 gallon barrel in half and filled it with concrete and made an attachment for the 3 point hitch for weight in the back.

[@13jonathandavis]

I like the red you chose.

[@rustyman351]

Did u make the bracket for the plow or is there an aftermarket one?

[@lowercherty]

How do you lift the plow up and down? It looks like a series of cables and pulleys from the 3 point arms? I've got a '51 8N but it's been set up with front driven hydraulics and a loader bucket. I put a blade on in place of the bucket in the winter.

[@glenparks5175]

I bought a 1960 Ferguson that had all the hardware, eceptpt plow trying to locate the plow that works off cables of 3 point arm's

[@LostCaper]

Nice working machine. awesome.

[@flhusa1]

you need to add a top extension to the plow blade to get more snow going in front of the tractor

[@dangolwitzer161]

Beats the hell out of a rear blade

[@benscoles5085]

absolutely!!

[@MrGalenlcox]

What kind of plow and how did you mount it on please.

[@stevegoehring1610]

Three bottom plow on the three point hitch. Dad had a 8n on the farm.got to plow a few times. Slow going but lots of fun.

[@kainekk9512]

How would it do if the drive way has a hill

[@Karl2070]

set up very well. Do you have ballast in the tires?

[@jimyosh1356]

Awesome without weight on rear.

[@lostinmyspace4910]

I've only used a rear blade for snow. The last two years have been a real challenge, and I recognize I need to change my method or equipment. SgtKilgore406 where may I find the same setup as yours? I need to act on this. Thanks for sharing your information.

[@abba1987]

+Philip Mannino I have the frame mounts and pulleys for the dearborn plow, i ended up modifying my 8n to mount the plow on the loader so I dont need them. Message me if you are interested

[@hadleyssquad8584]

Hey bud is that the regular 4-cylinder model or does it have a conversion kit

[@Redwood0351]

pretty cool!!!

[@muhtesemicatlar6467]

Süper 👍

[@tmiller249]

Do you add lead or run regular pump gas?

[@Apollyon67]

I know this is a bit late, but the flathead ford engine used in the N series has hardened valves, so 87 octane unleaded fuel is fine.

[@bogiewheelman71]

that's ok for the fluffy stuff

[@stuntcardriver]

Looks like you are plowing in 3rd gear. Sounds good!

[@DjLucasStable]

thats what I have but 1950

[@thatswiss1385]

Last comment on KZbin frome me before 2019😎

[@professordogwood8985]

I miss 2019

[@jtoddjb]

wow. Nice way to run your tractor Wide open all the time lol

[@awm9110]

seriously have some mercy on her lol

[@73xlh]

You obviously don't know tractors Todd. They are like lawn mowers, there is a governor. No foot feed

[@D8W2P4]

@@73xlh This, the N series engines have a throttle lever and turn over at like 2,000 RPM max. When you're actually using them they pretty much need to be floored all the time, because the engine doesn't make that much power and they're geared too high in all honesty.

[@1959hogryder]

@@73xlh : My dad's early 60's JD4020's had a foot-feed , as well as the standard throttle lever ..... I think his earlier , late 50's IH 807 had the same set-up also .... His two earlier 1955 Farmall 400's did Not though ...

[@machiningcoolstuff9124]

ToddtheWadd and awm9110 Vertical in-line 4 banger with maxed out rpm up to 2200 with governor. This engine will last for DECADES with proper service/maintenance. Have a '53 NAA Jubilee that my grandpa used on the farm. Cultivator bar use and utility work. Still running strong since 1953. When they still built tractors, LOL!

[@internetmayor2450]

Pushes better then a 4wd

[@LostCaper]

Great video. I have the 4000 minutes but looking for more subscribers.

[@benjaminwayneb]

Green Acres 4000 hrs , 240,000 minutes per year.

[@raymondcote6669]

Yes greater angle. Lol

[@rockymtndieselrider1133]

got a lower gear? being pretty hard on that old girl. operator error

[@jakewalter3729]

F

[@larrywoodruff7530]

Plowing way too fast, lugging the engine, not good, tractor abuse.

[@glenwunderlich2438]

What I heard was not lugging; that engine was racing!

[@dustinpollard6237]

Thats just what the flathead 4 sounds like, do you not own one? I wouldn't make ignorant comments telling people what they're doing wrong and i have a half dozen tractors, all with front blades, rear blades, snowblowers, and i rebuilt them all with no experience or training. But i still wouldnt talk to a 16 year old with his first mower like you, especially when im right and you're wrong.

[@larrywoodruff7530]

Sorry there buddy, your the one who's wrong, these tractors need a creeper gear, common sense.

[@dylanmonroe3565]

you drive that thing terrible that old Ford should be treated better than that.

[@tmiller249]

Do you add lead or run regular pump gas?

[@DjLucasStable]

pump gas that's what I use

[@toms641]

I have a '58 Ford 601. I add lead additive almost always. Comes in a plastic bottle like Stabil
