IHC49: I once entered a horse pull with my lowly Super A. Now horsemen consider they are doing well if they pull 2-3-2.5 times the weight of the team. Well my friend, I got to 3.1 times the weight of the Super A before they stumped me.
Like ih560 said, how many 55 year old horses are still out there doing their thing. If your not using the SA you don't need to feed it, don't have to clean out the manure.
My dad once said, he only had one tractor that wouldn't out perform the horses, that being a Fordson on steel. The horses would have worked less if they had just done work done by Fordson, rather than tow starting the Fordson.
