Elmer: The Super A is one of the best mower tractors in existence, at least based on the number used for this purpose. The only (minor) drawback is the lack of a live or independent PTO, which means that the mower stops when you push in the clutch. While you can (and I do, as do many others) use a 5' belly mower on a Cub, the Super A gives you about twice the horsepower (18 vs. 10) and some other nice features such as a 4th (transport) gear. A blade (either front or mid-mount)is a common addition to the Super A, but a bucket (loader) is less common, and with good reason. The Super A's "offset" design makes it difficult to attach a regular loader, and the "one-armed bandit" designs usually seen on them are of limited use due to their tendency to twist under load. Also, the front end of an "A" is not designed to support the additional weight of a loader and a full bucket of material, which can lead to stress failures of the components. If you stick with the conventional attachments for an "A", you'll find it's a wonderful, nearly bullet-proof little tractor, but I'd suggest looking at something different if a loader is on your list of "must-have" implements.
