This is a photo of our 1944 2N Ferd tractor, it's no show piece and is used by my wife to plow her large gardens. She found a nice Dearborn 2 bottom plow set up to use on it.I rebuilt the engine 5 years ago but other than that, the tractor is pretty original.This is orchard country by lake Ontario and many old N tractor are still used daily by orchard farmers.
I don't know too much about old tractors so my brother in law suggested a old N tractor when I was looking to buy one. He pointed out the advantages of a 3 point hitch on the old N tractors which makes them still usuable for light farm work even today
