With a magneto, you do not need a battery and can start the tractor with a crank. Also, if you have a weak battery a magneto will start better as it always has full power no matter what the battery condition is.

A magneto downfall can be if the impulse coupling quits working the tractor will start hard.

Distributor can put out a hotter spark if you swap to 12 volt and put a high performance coil on it...

I prefer magneto myself, I rebuilt the one on my H when I overhauled the engine and I haven't even adjusted the points since then and it's been about 5 years. My magneto tractors will ALWAYS start, where I end up boosting or pulling the distributor tractors in the spring when the batteries are weak.
