Any tractor should be used for it's designed purpose. Although he didn't have the following list all at once, my dad vegetable farmed with something like a 15-30 (culitvated with mules), F20, an IH crawler (don't remember the number)2 B's (replaced the mules, just as IH intended), 2 H's, and in later years after he went broke and did the farming for others, Ford 8N's, Ferguson 30's, a WD6, and I think a 404 after I left home. Never had an A, as B's were more suited to the type of cultivation we did. I am sure a C would have been better because of the easily adjustable wheels as he had several different row widths. All had their advantages and disadvantages (not much advantage to an 8N, except the 3 point). Our neighbor had a smaller acreage and farmed with an F12, replaced by a C, replaced by a Super C. I never heard of him ever breaking anything on the C, which holds up fine unless you forget and drop the front wheels in a ditch. When IH brought out the C (IMO an excellent tractor when used for what it was designed), they were still in their learning curve -- problem was they did not learn fast enough, which ultimately led to their downfall.
