I suggested the Meyers plow because of the smaller electrical demands of the E-47 Bosch motor. The turn solenoids are fussy about dirt and water in the lift oil, but can be taken out and flushed with mineral spirits. Their lift and turn system is good and almost as reliable as your wiring to it. But Meyers in the 70's and 80's had a contract with Dodge trucks, so the blade was flatter for higher speed plowing. At that time Western had a contract with Jeep and IH Scouts... smaller and lighter vehicles than the Dodge 3/4 ton w/V8 engines. So the Western blade had more curve to the moldboard and would roll the snow better at slow plowing speeds. The common Western blades used for the Jeep were 6.5 ft wide, whereas the Meyer/Dodge blades were commonly 7.5 ft and some at 8 ft. A 6.5 ft blade is about right for the 8N. Any wider and you can't steer as the snow load pushes the tractor front end sideways when it builds up a snow load against the moldboard.
The Meyers lift and turn can be used with a Western blade, you just have to make your own subframe to attach it to the tractor.
