You can compare HP between tractors of the same make, and perhaps between similar tractors, say JD and Case-IH. I thought when they dropped the belt/drawbar combination they started using PTO hp, which would be somewhat lower than engine hp, probably about the same as the old belt hp. As to the 2350-Super A comparison, I don't know the hp of the 2350 either (I believe I have driven on of those), but it would be substantially more than the Super A. I have substantial time on earlier models such as the 2020 and 1530. These tractors have a split range 4 speed transmission, 8 forward, 4 reverse. If I was pulling a rotary hoe, I would probably be using 5th or 6th gear (or 1st or 2nd high range, depending on how it is marked). In other words considerably faster than the Super A could pull it, or probably up to about 7 mph, compared to a little under 5 for the Super A, depending on tire size -- that's why you saw the smoke. Also, any letter series tractor will pull a lot more than some people think, regardless of their HP ratings, which as far as I'm concerned are conservative.
