Two problems. I think you will find the speed for your reverse too fast for a lot of conditions. You also lack live PTO which could be an issue if you need to stop the travel of the tractor yet maintain function (with out plugging) to the blower. I am not aware of a front mount unit suitable for a tractor that size that would address the ground speed issue but it would not hurt to check with the New Holland dealer (where you would get new OEM parts). Last I saw John Deere and Woods offered at least three point hitch models. Agro-trend was a manufacturer that supplied the economy end of the market and I believe they are still around. If it were me I would look for a more modern tractor that had more gear selection and live PTO. Unless you hit on a real bargain expect to shell out at least 3000 to 3500 dollars for an older domestically made tractor that fits. The alternative would be to put a three point blade on the 8N and cope (not my first choice). I don't like the loader on 8N's and you will probably need chains for sure and would be a good idea any way you go.
