Tractors: The Backbone of the Ranch Tractors are an essential part of any ranch. Tractors are used for a variety of tasks, such as plowing, planting, harvesting, and transporting goods. Without tractors, Whispering Wind Ranches would not be able to operate efficiently.
Tractors come in a variety of sizes and styles, each designed for a specific purpose. For example, there are tractors that are designed for plowing, tractors that are designed for planting, and tractors that are designed for harvesting. There are also tractors that are designed for transporting goods, such as hay or grain. Then you have the all purpose tractor with different provisions you can attach so you get a good rounded piece of equipment suitable for most of your jobs. We chose to use a vintage Ford 8 N and own a few of them, although we do have a Case 580E as well for bigger tasks.
The Ford 9N, 2N & 8N tractors were some of the most popular tractors ever made. They were known for their durability, reliability, and affordability. The 9N was introduced in 1939 when it was replaced by a 2N model in 1942. The last generation was the 8N when was introduced in 1947 and was made until 1952. The N series tractors were powered by a Ford flathead four-cylinder engine. The 8N had a 4-speed transmission, while the 9N and 2N both have a 3-speed transmission. All N-Series tractors were equipped with a two-wheel-drive system and PTO.

They were also used for powering farm equipment, such as hay balers and grain combines.
