No on the 8N. I have a Jubilee and wished I had gotten something bigger with power steering, ext hyd and live pto.
I have 12 properties to take care of. 6 years ago I purchased a sub-compact backhoe, terramite T5C. I will never be without one. I've put 1100 hours on it, mostly doing what you want to do, yard work, except for brush hog.
It's small enough it won't put ruts in your yard, 3100#. I love it. As for making a garden spot, I use sod cutter, then the FIL to remove sod. I either put bad looking sod in mulch pile and the good looking sod in bare spots in lawn.

I have 4 ft forks for front bucket too.
If I could only have one tractor, I would get a terrmite. To cut grass, get a lawn mower.
