Seems reasonable to me if it's in decent shape. Naked Super As average around $1500. A good Woods 59 mower will bring $500.

Charles: Not excessive if in working condition, I have seen them go over $3,500. in excellent condition. In fact when I get done painting my SA with Woods mower, any offer under $5,000. will be considered an insult. Bear in mind I started off with probably one of the best mechanical and physical looking SA going. I also realize, they only way to rationalize my investment is keep the tractor another 55 years. Without the down to bare bones paint job, rust would have prevented the 55 year expectation. I wonder if science can do the same with me? Naw, 80-90 years is enough change for anyone in their lifetime.

I have been toying with the idea of getting a SA or a cub to replace my current lawn mower. I saw this as a new listing starting at $2000 and was curious of a SA/mower value. I know that SM and H go for well under $5000. I did see an H with a 6' belly mower and I admit, almost bid on it w/o telling the wife. It was under $2500 at the time I saw it.

Charles:
A good Super A will often bring more money than a good H or M. Why? I don't know.... handier I suppose, or easier to transport - making it more in demand. I have a Super A, a Super H and a Super M. Paid $2150 for the SA with cultivators. I think it was my best buy, since it was an exceptional tractor with virtually no whine, no leaks and beautiful sheet metal, not to mention new tires; paid $1,950 for the stage 2 SH with remote valve (my favorite) good sheet metal, bad paint job, quiet, sweet running and no smoke; paid $2,000 for the stage 2 SM, fresh rebuild with remote valve, power steering. Wish I had one less tractor, but cannot decide which I would sell.
Oh well. Guess I'll have to keep all three. HAW-HAW!

Charles: The little tractors in relation to the H or M are big big dollars for two reasons; doesn't take much room to store them and they are very easy on the pocket book at the parts counter.

Tractors, all makes, the size of a Super A nicely fit in a car garage, and there are a lot of folks in the market, with no more shelter than that. They are the ones driving the price.

Ahh, I see. I did not know if numbers produced, collector item, ect determined the value. I failed to think about "storibility"! I can see where a suburban house owner with a few acres would pay a premium for a "compact" Cub or SA. I have a 1962 Farmall 504 Diesel with a BRAND new $4000 loader and would be lucky to get $3500 for it if I wanted to sell. That is why I was thrown off when I see SA's, Cubs, and the like going for $3k, $4k, and upwards of $5k. Maybe one day I can find a "Good Deal" on a small RED tractor.

Which brings me to this; Do these small tractors and mowers do as good a job as a riding mower? I would think they can (with good bearings, blades, ect) and should be FASTER. True?

Thanks Hugh,

Charles

Charles: Before I bough my Woods mower, I looked at a lot of different makes, and looked at them out doing mowing. Everything from a Sears special to a Kubota Zero turn. I made up my mind, NO ONE builds a better finish mower than Woods. Even in 6" high grass my mower does not leave a trail of clippings. 24 hours after I mow, you can not pick out my direction of travel during mowing. The Woods self propelled mowers are excellent as well.

While I've made up my mind about Woods, I'm not altogether convinced Super A is the best vehicle. Super A is high around ornimental trees, sure the mufler brushes by, but they are a bit hard on the face. I wish it were closer to the ground, like the Cub 154 or 185. Since I'm not convinced the Cub has enough engine for a 60" mower, I do wish IH had built a Super A low version.

Gene bender built his own, has one out there with 16" rear tires and matching fronts.
