Yes, a Ford 8N tractor can run a brush hog. Since the Ford 8N uses three-point hitch attachments, you can use the tractor for brush hogging, blading the driveway, or even pulling work. The rated drawbar of the tractor is 23.16hp on 2nd gear so make sure you get proper attachments. Due to the non-live P.T.O., N series models are not the most powerful used as a mower or with a bush hog.
