After the 850, an 8N will probably drive you nuts. The 8N has the hydaulics driven off the non-live pto. This means every time you push in the clutch, the hydraulics go dead. Major pain, since you cannot ever lift an impliment with your foot on the clutch. No power to the PTO with the clutch in makes it pretty much impossible to creep into things with the bush hog. Every time you touch the clutch, there's no power to the hog, so it slows to a halt. The nasty side of this is the PTO is driven throug the regular transmission, think of it is as a second driveshaft if you will. This means the PTO is connected to the rear wheels. If you're in gear, and something is spinning the pto shaft, the tractor is going to move, whether you push in the clutch or not. That's why salmoneye said you need a thing called an overruning clutch for using a hog on an 8N.
