For what you wanna do an 8n would work fine.All tractors of that vintage are going to have inherent safety issues. Being a tractor novice you probably should stay away from row crop tractors (They Have a Higher center of gravity) Youy really need to increase your budget to 5 or 6000.00 I own a 49 8n and it does all I ask it to butfeatures such as live PTO remote hydraulics , power steering would help a lot. First thing you should do before buying any tractor go to your states co-op extension site on the web and read all you can find onfarm and tractor safety. With a budget like your talking about you ARE GOING TO LEARN MECHANICAL SKILLS. These old tractors are simple they were made so a guy with a rudimentay tool kit could work on them in the field or the barn. But you need to know the basics of internal combustion and automotive electrics. Your local tractor dealer gets way to much an hour to pay for every thing you are gonna need done. I would look at MF 135 gas if I was you. With zip mechanical aptitude stay away from deisals.
