Ford 2N
The Ford 2N is a utility tractor that was made from 1942 to 1947. It's a small, simple tractor that's good for many farm jobs. The 2N has a 2-wheel drive system and manual steering, which makes it easy to control. It has a gear transmission with 3 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, so you can choose the right speed for your work. Under the hood, the Ford 2N has a 4-cylinder gasoline engine that's liquid-cooled. The engine is 120 cubic inches and makes 23 horsepower. It's not very powerful compared to other tractors, but it's enough for many tasks. The tractor has a three-point hitch that can lift up to 800 pounds, which is about average. It also has a PTO (power take-off) that spins at 545 rpm, letting you use different tools. The Ford 2N is pretty light, weighing 3,070 pounds, and it's small too. It's 115 inches long, 64 inches wide, and 52 inches tall, so it can fit in tight spaces on the farm.
