An 8N would make you a nice rig, especially if your mechanical abilities are deeper than your pocket. With a loader, they are a little stiff to steer, do not have live hydraulics, so you have to let clutch out to raise 3 point. Not a live PTO, same thing, the clutch has to be out to run PTO, if you put an overrunning clutch on PTO, it makes them a little easier to use PTO powered equipment. Grey market tractors can be a risky thing to get involved with, if you buy one and it has Japanese features not used in the USA tractors, you will have a boat anchor if something major would break and it is not a USA modeled tractor. Had an instance a few years back with a B7100 Kubota tractor, grey market, they used an electric switch to activate the 3 point system, the switch went out, guy had a hard time finding this switch, was not used on any USA tractors, Kubota told me, he gonna have to contact where he bought it or go to Japan and get one. Do not know if that problem still arises, but it would scare me off of buyng one.
