The A for heavier tillage for sure and no comparison on that. That said, the hand clutch and fast reverse do not make it very nimble tractor IMOP.
The Farmall Super C if you want to use it more like a little nimble utility tractor for things like mowing and back blading etc.
I have a late JD A (1950) as well as a 1951 Farmall h and a 1946 Farmall M. Both of my farmalls are far more nimble than the JD A. I love the JD A for raking hay and I bet it would have been a favorite for cultivating row crops back when that was still done before herbicides took over. The John Deere A is a fine tractor when used out in wide open space where you put in a gear engage the clutch and go. Lights of tight quarters, frequent direction changes from forward to reverse or frequent speed changes then not so handy and I will pick either of my Farmall's for that work myself.
4 cyl engines are smoother on PTO work too. Gutsy Super C have been known to outwork Farmall h's at times. I think I would go Super C and plan on 6' disc.
