Ted: I had an uncle who farmed 100 acres in 1950s, milked 20 cows and did all his work with a Super A. And yes you should go for a Super A and get factory hydraulics. I have three of these tractors; Super A, 130 and 140. I have pulled 7,000 lbs on a flat bottom stone boat. I have somewhere a picture of Farmall 130 when it was almost new coming out of bush in winter on frozen, snow covered ground, pulling a set of bobsleds with 2 cords of pulpwood on sleds. Pulpwood weighs about 4,200 lbs per cord. That was the largest load hauled out of bush that winter sometime after the trail was tracked and frozen. The 130 did however remove a 158 cords from bush that winter in 113 loads. My dad pulled a 140 bushel manure spreader with the 130 for 5 years. And yes I have also run the haybaler, a New Holland Super 69 Hayliner with thrower and pulling wagon, a 20 footer. I baled two loads one day when my 656, 560 and 300 were busy with haylage. Had some product that was too dry for haylage. With a front mounted snowblade they will push snow with much larger tractors. Truly an amazing little tractor, capable of much more than they were designed for, and the ones that received good maintainence are still around, and probably will be in another 50 years. Economical too.
