Can a Ford 8N run a tiller?
TILLER: The ‘N’ tractor WILL NOT RUN A TILLER! Unless the tractor is equipped with a rare Howard or Everett auxiliary transmission. The ground speed is simply too fast without it. Another option if you REALLY must use a tiller with an ‘N’ would be a tiller with its own engine.
