Well, I don't know about the 3-point type, but around here in Central Texas, the drag type are quite common in 5' and can be bought used for about $125-200 in usable condition. I was using one on a '49 C with bad rings in fairly heavy Coastal pasture and had to cut about 5"-6" high. Since the Super A has either the same B113 or the later C123 engine (depending on year) it should be able to handle the 5' drag type ok except in the thickest stuff where you might need to use first gear (kinda slow). The main thing to remember is that the heavy spinning mass of any mower will push these non-live PTO tractors even with the clutch disengaged. You need to install an overrunning clutch on the PTO output shaft no matter which type of mower you use so you don't get yourself into serious trouble with the inertia of the mower making your tractor do things you don't want it to do. Just my $.02, Phil
