I noticed quite a few errors, but interesting video. I know that whenever an Oliver shows up for an Antique Tractor Pull, other brands are in for a tough time. And I like the other shade of Green!

Biggest problem with the Ford 8N, and some of the later models, is the pedal placement. I'm a short fellow, and normally have to drive tractors with the seat adusted forward. But on the 8N, with the seat all the way back, I still have to pull my feet back underneath me to move from the foot rest to above the pedal. We have a taller fellow who drove it once with the seat adjusted forward and said never again. We took the wrenches out and adjusted the seat all the way back that day, and it doesn't help that much.

We used to have a 1940-41 Ferguson. Unable to recall whether an 8N or 2N. We would have some issues with that small glass where the fuel (Gasoline) would pass through. We'd have use a piece of cardboard to keep it snug when you screw the little wheel at the bottom.
We didn't have any headlights. We used it mostly in the daytime - plowing, Cultivating, tearing up the ground with the disc, had a blade on the back for grading our gravel driveway and sometimes making a path in the snow to get in and out. We also had a bush-hog. You had to hold the throttle lever all the way to you while mowing.
It had 4 gears with 1 Reverse. Going up the driveway in 4th gear sounded just like a single engine airplane. I got my experience operating tractors with the Ferguson at an early age.

At work now, I have operate a John Deere 5075 M with an H 310 Front-end Loader with Clamshell action, and an E-15 Bat Wing Bush-hog/Mower that I mow the Berms with. I have also operated a New Holland as well.

Who is the idiot that came up with the narrative on the R? I have a '51 & '53 now and ran them in the rice fields in the 60's/70's. They were the best mud hog tractors of their era. Even ran some on steel. Just goes to show you, anyone can make a video and say a joke!

That's 18 minutes of disonformation, mistakes, and outright lies, I'll never get back.

The Fordson F was prone to rearing up and over onto the operator because of a pull point too high. The worm gear drive differential was changed to counter that some but generated enough heat to burn your ankles after hours of hard work.
The WC had hand brakes, hard to apply evenly and stop straight with your knees in the steering wheel.
The D could be hard to start if not properly maintained. You didn't need to double clutch them to shift as most had just 2 speeds, slow and slower.
The 8N had 4 speeds not 3 like the 9N and 2N. The got a side mounted automotive style distributor in 1950-52.
The R John Deere was a beefy brute that needed Power Steering. The Hydraulics ran off of the PTO which had it's own clutch to make the Hydraulics live. They were very thrifty with a gallon of fuel.
Taking into account the enhineering and materials available, improvements came out of need and not laziness in those years.

Most of the complaints were due to not maintaining the machine correctly, not lack of good engineering.

What's the make & model of the tractor that "Mr. Douglas" (Eddie Albert) on "Green Acres" is seen driving on the opening credits of the show?

Why do you constantly show 8n tractors with V8 conversions?
