Pullstart 62,834 #2 Posted April 24 2100 lbs. @Streetrodchev’s JD tips the scales over that with him in the saddle, 2250 I think I recall? Quite a shock at the light weight ness of the 9N! Cool find! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,496 #3 Posted April 24 I think the "real" 9N was roughly around 2400 lbs. I checked one of the earlier brochures I have on the Ford Ferguson 9N, but didn't see the weight in it. But it was too cool not to attach it here. ford9n.pdf 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 6,998 #5 Posted April 24 2140 sounds about right. The dynamics of the 3 point hitch on the 9N and 8N tractors moves the virtual hitching point for the implement that is attached to a point well forward of and above the rear axle through the magic of four bar linkages. When a plow is being used, the load on the plow translates into a downward force on the rear tires, making the tractor seem heavier. The virtual hitch point being above and forward of the rear axle also helps to hold the front wheels down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
