Ron: No such thing as a better tractor if your considering a tractor built by one of the 8-10 major manufacrurers of the 1950. There are tractors better suited for the job than others, but that is what they were designed for.
For example, I love my Super A, think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. That said I wish I had an 8N or a fergie for my Woods belly mower. Farmall being high is just too hard on ornamental trees and tree limbs are just too hard on my old carcass. Now, you see if I had the 8N or fergie, then I could take my center mount cultivators from 140 and put them back on SA. The smaller and lower hood of SA give better view when cultivating than 140. I could buy a Cub 154 for that mower, but I'm betting I'll get better service from a Ford or Fergie.
It's all about matching the tractor to most of the work required. I farmed with a SA, 130, 300, 560, 656 and 1066. I didn't use the 1066 if going checking fences, and I didn't try to pull a 25' cultivator with the SA.
Same with your decission between SC and 8N, both good hobby farm tractors, but what type of hobbies. Hobby vegetables or hobby mowing or somewhere in between. Only you can make that decission.
