I have a set of 9.5 x 24, 23 degree on my Super A, and yes they do have a tendancy to slide side ways on side hills. I don't think it is bad enough to affect most jobs. I used to grow rutabagas, 2 x 26" rows with tractor set at 52". I would slide enough on side hills to adversely affect row crop cultivation, especially the rear mounted gangs.

On the pulling end they are super. My tractor does not have any solid or liquid weight added. One day a fair grounds where they were having horse and ox pulls on a bet I hooked to the stone boat 7,000 lbs. The little Super A walked away with it. Surprised me as well as a lot of others, mainly horse and ox teamsters who only manage slightly over twice teams weight. Super A only weighs 2350 lbs as is. A Cockshutt 20 came behind me and pulled 200 lbs more than I. We did rub it in a bit to horse and ox guys. Cockshutt had 45 degree 11.2 x 24 tires plus wheel and liquid weight. I suspect Cockshutt was 600 lbs heavier than Super A
