With that much extra HP available I can't believe he's got the stock 2 bottom plow. He should be able to upgrade to at least 4, maybe even 6 - 16"s

But it makes for a real purty tractor!

Awesome!! I need that tractor to pull my hay rake. I will almost guarantee you that tractor with THAT motor got more attention at that car show than anything else there.

The problem with Ford 9-2-8N tractors is you can't get enough traction to put that kind of power to the ground. That tractor needs massive wheel weights to be useful. I don't know if the transmission would put up with that kind of abuse.

Oh I wouldn't worry too much about it. I'd doubt that particular tractor will be plowing the garden on a regular basis anytime soon. But I imagine those duallys would give it a little better grip.
