An 8N is not a toy, and is actually a very good brush-hogging and grading tractor. It's one weakness is the lack of live hydraulics (which the Jubilee has). These type of things do not need a live PTO, which some other people will tell you is a must-have. Unless you are doing heavy field work, an 8N is a good choice. I own 3 sizes of tractors : small, medium and large - AC G, Ford Jubilee, and an Oliver 1600. They all have their uses. Those 3020's and 4020's are WAY overpriced - you will get a much better bang for your buck with an Oliver or IH if you really need a big tractor. Also, getting on and off those big tractors will get old real quick, as they are much higher off the ground. A Jubilee is much more tractor than an 8N, and is just as good a tractor as a Massey 35 (or 135) - they're within 5 HP. Finally, Mr. Cosper keeps forgetting Saukville Tractors- a Made in America AC G replacement that is definately less than 100 HP.
