I know my answer. I'd guess it's the same answer as 90% of people here.

Deere is a tractor brand. As far as a model I would say between the 9n and 8n Ford.

THOSE FORDS WERE AHEAD OF THERE TIME, JUST A 4 WHEELER OF THE 40'S. WEREN'T MUCH OF A FARM TRACTOR BUT NICE DRIVER AND GREAT FOR FIXING FENCE . I DON'T KNOW, BUT I DROVE MY NEIGHBORS M FARMALL TO GET THE HYD. FIXED AT ANOTHER NEIGHBOR PLACE YESTERDAY, AND GOT TO THIS HILL AND I DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD MAKE IT OVER WITHOUT SHIFTING DOWN. I KNOW WITH MY WD OR WD45 I WOULDN'T ONCE THINK ABOUT SHIFTING DOWN ON THAT HILL. I'VE TAKEN THEM ON HILLS THAT BIG W/ A LOAD OF HAY IN HIGH GEAR & LISTEN TO THEM BARK. WOW I THOUGHT M'S HAD MORE THAN THAT.

The steering of and 8N is hands down much better than the steering of a 2n or 9n. The 8N used a ball worm so it didn't kick but the 2N and 9N used bevel gears so the efficiency of kicking was very high. Like the model T steering with ordinary gears instead of work gears. But the whole family was weak and light, to puny for real work.
Yet I made money when I sold my 8N. Sure was glad to see it gone. Gerald J. |

Deere 4010. They never put out the claimed hp, and the engines were short-lived. There was no Power Director and they were a bear to shift. The radiator location also led to overheating if you had a tailwind. These defects were continued for a long, long time.

Hate the 4020. Can't shift on the go and can't speed shift like the 190/200's |

8N has my vote. Ever tried doing ignition work on one? If you've ever had one, you are probably nodding right now. LOL!
Another one I lump into the same category, and for pretty much the same reasons is the 135 MF. I was just never satisfied with the power, and had a lot of mechanical problems. Maybe it was just a bad apple?

I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me!

I dunno. I grew up on 160 acres and the only tractor we had was an 8N. It sure did everything we asked it to.
I guess when you don't know any better, it sure seems better than the alternative.
I always thought the John Deere B was the most overrated tractor I knew of, but heck, as is pointed out above, I have no idea what I'm talking about! LOL

An Allis B or C will work a pre-1947 JD B into the ground in short order. Later ones with the pressed steel frame are a different story. Next on my list of worthless tractors would be the 9N Ford. A fair butt buggy, but not much of a tractor.

n series, M farmall, anything green. My grandpa always said Deere was the most over rated, over priced and under powered tractor there was. But they had the best marketing force ever.

The 8N is an excellent choice for being overrated.

8n is a good choice, M or MT Deere was a rotten contraption. Anything under a 140 Farmall was just a big/slow lawn mower. Too many tractors to list as ones I'll never bother wasting my time on. Anything made overseas from europe is a waste due to parts and poor enginering.
