8N is an excellent choice! A Farmall "A" will work, somewhat, but the PTO shaft is offset and it is also only about 16 HP. The "N" is way more versitile, has a 3 point, easy to get parts for, easy to work on/with, and CHEAPER (at least around here!). A good N will be in the $1,500-$3,000 range, while a good "A" will be over $4,000.
As for tires - a friend uses motorcycle tire on the front and regular ag on the back. I have ag on both front and rear, and find the only time I tear anything up is with the fronts - by turning to sharp when the ground is wet. The non-live PTO thing is easy to get used to (be sure to get an overrunning clutch adapter for it).
