I like the feeling of an 8n - nice smooth steering.
Common problem on super a's is sloppy steering - ok if you fix it, but it's a chore to fix.
Another problem with the super a is the 1st gear is still a bit fast for things like plowing if you've got rocks.
I've never plowed with an 8n - and I just looked it up. It's first gear speed is a lot faster than the super a!
but I have no idea how much you can throttle it down. Maybe others here can chime in. I see that 1st&2nd on the ford is about the same as 2nd&3rd on the farmall. That's pretty fast - I'd ask around on that topic.
Both tractors are about as simple as you can get, and very reliable.
(I'm crossing the cub off like others have - handy little things, but they'll always leave you wishing for more).
Somebody else mentioned super a's are hard to get on and off - depends on how tall you are. I'm tall and my leg fits just right so I can step on the platform and step up. I do feel bad for people trying with shorter legs trying to do it. Somebody does sell an add on step that I'm sure works well.
