I like the 8n's. Would like to upgrade my 9n to an 8n. Everybody has an option about the 8n's.
They either love them or hate them. I do think the worst implement you can put on an 8n is a bush hog. The problem is most people let the grass get too tall before they mow. 8n's are also geared a little fast for heavy grass.
If you turn the PTO off. The hydraulics won't work to raise the mower.
Two of friends have 8n's with bush hogs. Gayle has about five acres of buffalo grass. He gets along fine mowing once or twice a month. My other buddy gave up on his 8n and bought a new Deere utillity.
I don't know what kind of grass Ken has but it's heavy and grows much faster. He had to mow every week with the 8n. Ken told me, "If the grass is above my ankles it's time to mow with the 8n".
The 8n will move snow and pull a plow just fine. 8n's are simple and you don't need a lot of special tools. parts are available all most anywhere and are cheaper than most other brands, models.
I don't think you need power steering on small tractors. I took the PS off my 62 Ford 4000.
if your ground is rough. you might want to level it and reseed it. it would be much better for your tractor and mower.
