Personally, I would not own a tractor without live PTO. None of the N-series have live PTO or live hydraulics. All of the x00/x01 series have live hydraulics, but the four speed transmissions (and some of the five speeds) don't have live PTO.
Also, the N-series tractors are a bit underpowered for mowing thick bermudagrass, although I'm sure they'll do the job in first gear.
Rather than the diesel 841, I suggest you look for a gas 861 (or the nearly identical four-cylinder 4000). Not only will it start easier than the diesel, it has live PTO and a lower first gear than the four-speed 841. The downside of the live PTO tractors is that clutch replacement is very expensive, so you need to check out the clutch for slipping before you buy.
