- Kubota Tractor Loader L3560 HST+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3,700 pounds bare tractor, 5,400 pounds operating weight, 37 horsepower
The 8N is around 23-hp and, picking a middle weight, 3,000 pounds; with 2-WD.
A new tractor with more hp, more weight, improved transmission options and 4-WD will be vastly more capable.
This is a great place to research. Have fun.
Consider a Kubota L3200:

Welcome from Wisconsin
FEL compatable - I have a 300' driveway that I can't really plow. No place to push the snow as it's fenced on both sides. Of course the FEL will be used for the normal stuff also including lifting bales and geleral toting and carrying.
Needs to use the category 1 implements I now have including among other things 2 bottom plow, Danuser posthole digger & rear blade, & sicklebar mower. I don't plan to pull a baler with it.
I think someday I'd like to get a tiller to use with it.
I need to be able to trailer it on my 6000#, 16' trailer.
I've about convinced myself I don't want hydrostatic drive.
Regards, Woody

I love my NH Boomer. That is me using it to move my new goose coop into place in the pic. I bought it when I finally got fed up with the foibles and failings of my old Massey Fergeson. It has a hydrostat drive and I love the simplicity. It is worth the HP trade off. The front loader is the most useful tool. I do not use a tooth bar as it can scrape ice from my concrete drive without one. I use it for snow clearing. My other major implement is a 6' tiller for working my large vegetable gardening. The tractor is much too large for my smallholding; I got it when I had a much larger tract elsewhere and needed to run a shredder there. Just when I think I ought to step down to the next size class, I come across a job that convinces me the big tractor is just right.

If you can't push the Snow your gonna need a Blower.

woody,
I can only suggest that you look at all brands near you and compare. Kubota, Mahindra, Deere, Kioti, LS, Massey Ferguson, Case-IH all have great tractors, finding the one the fits your needs the best is not an easy task.
