We have run a land pride tiller behind our 8ns for years. Agreed that it isn't great, and you have to do two passes, but it does work. We grow vegetables commercially on raised beds. Use a plow for primary tillage and then the tiller for seed bed preparation, as well as tilling in cover crops. Now, don't let me talk you out of a newer tractor, but you could at least try the 8n, especially if you're just tilling your victory garden, which I assume hasn't been did or pasture for years. Also, we have a Sherman hi/lo in one of the 8ns and it doesn't help, because it slows down the PTO speed. Nice for the farmi winch, but useless for mowing, tilling, etc.
