You may want to consider someone custom planting and harvesting for you. For 40 acres its going to be a big investment for a decent planter and combine. Someone planting with a newer planter in top condition will pay for the custom fees in a better stand and higher yield. Planting corn is not so simple if you have never done it before. Start with proper fertilization, hybrid selection, insecticide, weed control ect. With $5 corn you want to get everything as close to perfect as possible. An 8n is a pretty small tractor for 40 acres, I would look for something newer around 60 HP like a farmall 656, 666, 686. They can pull 12 to 14 ft implements that can do a better job faster and are easier to find used in good condition.
