Nat: Actually I disagree with both of you, the Cub is not even closely related to other Farmalls. Completely different engine, flat head, with no sleeves, It's governed speed range is well over 2,000 rpm. PTO turns opposite direction and about twice the standard 540 PTO. 3 speed transmission with much different ratios from larger tractors.

The Super A, 100, 130 and 140 on the other hand have a fully sleeved, overhead valve engine, that has roughly the same governed speed range of all the large Farmalls of the 50s. The PTO is 540 and same size standard shaft as all large 540 PTO tractors. They have a two valve hydraulic rochshafts and a remote valve was optional. The 4 speed transmission is very close to same ratios as the Super C, 200, etc. Very simply put this group is capable of working right along with the big boys.

In 1958 my dad bought new a Farmall 130. He already had a 300 and a Cockshutt loader tractor. The 130 pulled a 2x12 plow or the 130 bushel manure spreader and the 300 did the other job, except the 300 plow was 2x14. The very first year my dad and I ever plowed 100 acres, the Farmall 130 did it. We had a farm woodlot and every year we harvested from that. We hired two guys to cut and pile 158 cords of 4' wood, in the fall on 61. We had planned on hauling that wood from the bush with 300 quickly after Christmas, before we sent 300 off for it's first rebuild. The clutch played out on us we ended up pulling the sleds with 130. It pulled the 158 cords from the bush in 113 loads. Quite simply put these little offsets will out pull all other Farmalls as a percentage of their own weight. On a percentage of their own weight pull the Super A will place 1st, Super H -2nd, Super M - 3rd and Super C - 4th. Do you want to give it a test.
