Thinking of getting one for york raking and bush hogging. Anyone know anything about them. I love the look and it looks like parts and support are available.

I know a thing or two about them.

I have two. Plus two other very similar tractors.

They are great for the York rake.

But, for bush hogging? No live PTO can make it a chore.

When ever you lift the brush cutter the pto has to be engaged for the hydro lift to work.

Makes it a bit scary if kids are around!

It all depends on wether you have long strieght runs, or, a lot of obstacles to work around.

Move up an era or two (jubilee or 600/800 series) get live hydraulics and on some live pto, overhead valve engine and a few other "modern" conveniences.

I had a 1948 8N. It was a good tractor. Really good for pulling a blade or rake. My neighbor has used one to bush hog with for decades. I would rather have something a bit newer for that, but don't let anyone discourage you from getting one.
