My understanding is when conducting the Nebraska tests they ballast the tractors as required to obtain their maximum results--they are not allowed to make engine alterations or remove/disconnect things like alternators and hydraulic pumps to improve numbers. They test all tractors in as close to and identical environment as they can. The Super A falls quite a bit below the 8N in those tests.
Still IMHO I'd rather have a Super A over an 8N. But I admit that it still depends on the major task it is to be used for but I feel it's often under appreciated when compared to the 8N. Downsides: offset pto, tall under trees, less stable on a hillside, less lift capacity. Upsides: great operators platform, good visibility and clearance, live hydraulics, independent hydraulics for front and rear applications (push blade on front, scoop on rear at the same time), hydraulic down-pressure (great using the pulverizer and with a back blade there is no floating up when going over bumps), I found the hydraulics had finer height adjustment control, and as I recall the engine access was much better too.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
