I like the feeling of an 8n - nice smooth steering.
Common problem on super a's is sloppy steering - ok if you fix it, but it's a chore to fix.
Another problem with the super a is the 1st gear is still a bit fast for things like plowing if you've got rocks.
I've never plowed with an 8n - and I just looked it up. It's first gear speed is a lot faster than the super a!
but I have no idea how much you can throttle it down. Maybe others here can chime in. I see that 1st&2nd on the ford is about the same as 2nd&3rd on the farmall. That's pretty fast - I'd ask around on that topic.
Both tractors are about as simple as you can get, and very reliable.
(I'm crossing the cub off like others have - handy little things, but they'll always leave you wishing for more).
Somebody else mentioned super a's are hard to get on and off - depends on how tall you are. I'm tall and my leg fits just right so I can step on the platform and step up. I do feel bad for people trying with shorter legs trying to do it. Somebody does sell an add on step that I'm sure works well.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
