Four thousand twenty? When writing for synthesized voice PLEASE write out the model numbers in text! Example: write "forty-four forty" instead of 4440, and "forty twenty" instead of 4020. Spread the word to other AI-generators please.
The truth is that the 9N, 8N and MF 135 should be lumped together as one tractor design. They all offered the same features to the same segment of the farm industry and were basically designed by the same man, Harry Ferguson. The Fordson and the International F both came to market to under cut the huge and high priced tractors that were common in that era. Now, a regular farmer could replace his horse teams with a real tractor as his own property. Both the Fordson and the IH F had significant safety issues with their use, but robust enough that farmers bought and used them anyway. Significantly, the fact that parts and service was so readily available helped both of those tractors in the market. The John Deere 4020 was a revolution not because of new features, but because it combined already known and proven technologies in a higher horse power package - the exact tractor farmers were looking for at the time. This tractor helped John Deere steal the number one position in tractor sales from International Harvestor which they have never relinquished.
Why do I watch these AI generated videos that are so lacking in actual farm equipment knowledge? First, the TE 20, 9N, 8N and 135 are as others mentioned, the same basic tractor and personally, having worked with all of them, not one that I personally had any love for lol. The Oliver 70? Hardly worthy of mention, let alone glorifying as one of the 10 greatest. Likewise the JD 4440, although a nice rig, wouldn't really make the top ten among those who know what they're talking about, although there'd be no argument about the 4020. There wasn't really anything very special about the 4440 in relation to its contemporaries from other manufacturers. Missing from the list are any of the 2 cylinder JDs, such as the D, which actually WAS a big deal for its day. And all the large 4 wheel drives from the 1960s onward, which really changed everything, not given a thought?
The Ford 9N is indeed one of the great tractors. Henry Ford always tried to market to the small farmer, which meant a low priced machine. The 9N was a direct replacement for a team of horses at a price that most farmers could afford. It was simple enough that anyone experienced in maintaining a Model T could keep this tractor running. Like the Model T car, it was the target of many add on after market pieces that made it an even better tractor. One of those things is the Sherman auxiliary transmission that multiplied the working gears from three to six or nine for this little machine.
@@HeavyMachinery2207 You need to improve your research methods then. This video is laughable. I stopped watching it part way through because it was so bad.
The Farmall M tractor at the time stamp 08:05 is an example of why tricycle front-end tires are dangerous. Granted, I am sure the clutch was popped at the startup. The front end jumped off the ground. This would not have happened if this had been a wide front end. I know the M only came with a tricycle front end. Because of my age, I was forbidden to drive the tricycle front-end tractors for the reason shown in the video. A very informative video.
@@cdjhyoung Do you know of anyone killed on one? I do. A mechanic from our local dealership was dead on one when on the road. A wide front-end tractor was following behind him. The tricycle type hit some rough roads. The back tractor watched the tractor flip over backward. Both going the same speed, the back tractor was not affected. The tractor in the video jumped off the ground when the clutch was quickly released. A wide front-end tractor would not have jumped off the ground.
The wide front end tractor was less likely to "hop" off the ground because it was heavier than the narrow front end style. Narrow front end was ideal for row crow farming. Much tighter turning radius. Also installing forward mounted implements, cultivators, front end loaders, etc. was much easier and a mounted corn picker was impossible to mount on a wide front end tractor as far as I know. IMHO
Harry Ferguson approached Henry Ford with a demonstration tractor that featured Ferguson's three point hitch system sometime in 1937-38. They struck a hand shake deal for Ford to manufacture a tractor using Ferguson's technology in the US. The arrangement between the two men was never written down. When Henry Ford passed away, his son ignored Ferguson's demand to continue the deal he had made with Henry. Lawsuits were filed in the US, Ferguson loosing them all. Henry Ford didn't steal this idea from Ferguson. But Ferguson proved why you never do a business deal without putting everything in writing. Ferguson turned to Massey-Harris in the US to then introduce his own tractor design to the US market creating the Massey-Ferguson company which is still around today.

For some reason I can't stand AI narrated videos like these!
We researched information on the internet to make this video.
Yeah, I reckon that these redundant list videos should be limited to people practising speaking skills.

I love MF🎉🎉❤
8N & JD 4020
the first 3 point hitch was on a David Brown, NOT a ford. Do your research first...

BS. I've worked hundreds of hours on a narrow front M. It is no more dangerous that any other tractor if you don't do stupid things with it.

Clickbait downvote for me
Ford 9N developed in conjunction with Harry Ferguson bull! it was a copy
Thank you for your information
Harry Ferguson was the creator of the 3point hitch Henry Ford screwed him
