I spent time on a Neighbors Super C and his Super MTA.  I would light my 
cigarettes on the Manifold of the MTA while plowing.  The C was used for 
pulling the hay wagons and the like while his H and MTA were the farming 
tractors.  This was on gently rolling hills of Northern Missouri.

I recently used my brother's Cub with a belly mount single disk plow to 
plow my garden.  It was a bit scary as it was on a 15 degree side hill.  
I later tried to plow the field above the house but that was really 
scary.  The plow would lift a chunk of sod and the wheel would roll over 
it.  I think the plow needs to be moved out to where the wheel is in the 
just plowed forrow.

Several years ago I saw a nice A with a new Woods mower for $2200. I 
passed it up but now wish I had not.  There are others out there and I 
am still considering a ZTR mower for the lawn.
