I have little experience with other tractors that the good folks here know much about. I have had an 8N for about 4 years, and I use it as a hobby tool.
Sad to see the world has truly passed the 8N by for most AG work. It will mow, it will do a little cultivating, it will rake, and hog, and scrape, and do all those little things around the land that need doing.
But - it will not be fast, it will not be very comfy, and it will not be convenient. You MUST have 3 feet and 5 hands with a PTO device on the back. You MUST have an over-running coupler. You MUST have good arm strength and the ability to double, triple, quadruple clutch while operating the lift and maybe also the PTO stick.
Yes, the 8N would do your job. Take care of it, fix leaks, keep good tires on the back and don't get in a rush. Or pass up those golden hours learning the ropes with an 8N and just get a Ford 3000 with diesel and a loader on it. Any goober with a room temp IQ can run one of those and never worry about power, or shifting, or clutching, or running by the PTO, or yanking hard on the wheel, etc.

Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it.
