You don't mention how much you have to spend on a tractor. That's pretty important as it will dictate how new or well equipped a machine you can buy. I don't think you need a 50 HP tractor to "farm" 8-10 acres. 35-40 hp would suit you just fine. Being I'm a Ford man I will try to steer you towards one of those. Some models to look for are the older Red Belly 600s. Lots of tractor for the money. I personally like the Blue 3 cylinder Fords. Some models to search for are 2000,3000 or their slightly newer sisters the 2600,3600s. Some folks say you gots to have live pto but I don't really think you need LPTO for most of the tasks a 40 hp tractor is suited for. Power steering sure is nice as is differential lock. If I had to choose one or the other I would definately pick PS over LPTO. Though by the time the 3600s rolled off the line most of them came with both PS abd LPTO. Some guys would only have a diesel. To me that is not a big deal. I must admit the diesels use a less fuel than a gasser but on a 40 hp tractor fuel usage isn't a real big factor. The little Ford 9N 8N tractors are great, fun little machines and would suit your purposes too but for about 1/3 more $ you can buy a much better Ford that will have more features that you will come to appreciate. So I suggest you skip the Ns and buy a little newer. For the same reasons I'd say skip the Jubilees.
