Of the ones you list... the 600 series is the best. Preference is given to the 660 model of that series given it has a 5 speed transmission AND live PTO. The 'N's do not have live PTO. More importantly, they do not have live hydraulics... so the PTO must be engaged to make the hydraulics work. This isn't so charming when you're dealing with mowers and other such things that you probably want to transport with the PTO disengaged. The NAA/Jubilee incorporates some basic 'N' features with slight upgrades that gave it an overhead valve engine and live hydraulics.. All of them have 4 speed transmissions that many people find too fast to run rototillers effectively. As far as I'm concerned, none of them have the power to pull a sick wh0re off a pi$s pot.... but I suppose as 30 hp tractors go, that's the way of things.
I would suggest that in your search, keep your eyes open for 2/3/4000 Fords with 3 cylinder engines. Generally you can get them with live or independent PTO (4000), diesel engine, 8 speed transmission.... for not a whole lot more money than an 8N today. For the longest time the 8N was one of the most overpriced pieces of iron available for all it would do. It was like some little cottage industry all in it's own world... Prices may have finally settled some, but they've settled on the 2/3/4000 quite a bit too. It's not uncommon to but a gas 3000 with manual steering and 8 speed transmission for about the same money as an 8N now... at least around here. The 3000 would be a LOT better tractor for mabey a very small amount more money.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
