Hugh MacKay said: (quoted from post at 16:15:21 03/18/09) Terry: Pound for pound the 140 will give an H a hard run. We used to do tractor pulls whereby tractor pulling highest percentage of it's own weight was the winner. Super A is one hell of a hard tractor to beat on that percentage pull.
Put them in the field and the 140 wont hold a candle to the extra weight and the 38" tires. We had a discussion a few days ago on Scotty's question pulling trailer plows. His Super C will pull 2x14 trailer mainly due to 36" tires and the extra chloride they hold. No way those 25 hp with 24" tires can pull 2x14 trailer plow.
To add to Hughs reply, my dad had an H for a few years with the Super H sleeves and pistons and he pulled a 3x14' plow. He had one set of wheel weights in back, a couple of "suitcase" weights in front and had no trouble at all pulling it.
You mention the tools you plan to use and it's a combination of PTO and pulling power needed... the H would do fine, but something with an independent PTO would be even better.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
