How Does an 8N Ford Stack Up With Modern Tractors?

This video answers a specific viewer question: how does an 8N Ford (called 'A-10' throughout) compare spec-for-spec to a modern 40-hp compact like the Kubota L3901? Mike walks through PTO horsepower, transmission speeds, weight, three-point lift capacity, brakes, PTO safety, and comfort side by side. It's a talk-through rather than a live demo, but the concrete numbers make it useful for anyone weighing a vintage tractor against a new compact.
