FORD N SERIES TRACTORS FIRST APPEARED IN 1939 AS THE FORD-FERGUSON MODEL 9N. CREATED BY THE MARKETING GENIUS OF HENRY FORD MATED TO THE INNOVATION OF HARRY FERGUSON, THE NEW 9N CHANGED THE INDUSTRY IN TYPICAL FORD FASHION. ALONG WITH THE 2N AND 8N, THESE TRACTORS BECAME SOME OF THE ALL-TIME MOST POPULAR LINES OF TRACTORS.

ALTHOUGH THE TRACTORS WERE INNOVATIVE IN A NUMBER OF WAYS, THE MOST SIGNIFICANT TECHNOLOGY ON THE FORD 9N WAS FERGUSON'S THREE-POINT HITCH AND DRAFT CONTROL, WHICH YIELDED MORE EFFICIENT PLOWING. THAT EARLY THREE-POINT HITCH WAS THE FORERUNNER TO MODERN THREE-POINT SYSTEMS, AND SPAWNED RAPID ADVANCEMENT IN HITCH TECHNOLOGY.
