I own all three of those tractors.

Of the three, for your listed chores I'd choose the 8N.

As others have said, because of the 3pt hitch.

You also mentioned you are fairly new to mechanics.

For that reason I would recommend if you are going to get an

8N, get a later model (1950 1/2 thru 1952) with a side mount

distributor. It is more like other tractors when it comes to working

on it then the earlier front mount distributors.

If you can find one, I'd prefer to have a 600/800 series also.

They have live hydraulics so the clutch doesn't have to be out

to work the 3pt hitch. They may have live PTO, x6x series.

They also may have power steering.

The Jubilee/NAA is in between the 8N and 600 series.

I love mine, but they were only built for two years so finding

used parts can be tough. New parts are available for most things.

Other brands, I like the Fergies, they sell for twice what the

Fords do in my neck of the woods. TO-20 isn't twice an 8N.

Good tractors, but not double the price.

If you can find a little Allis Chalmers with 3pt they are great

machines. Mine doesn't have 3pt so it sits in the barn.

Maybe the most important part is, what dealers do you have?

If you can't get to a dealer for parts, advice, etc you may

want to look at other brands entirely.
