Farmall ABC and Supers differences

I just about have the wife talked into her needing a farmall so she'll quit molesting the lawn mower with her grossly over weighted lawn trailer. What are the differences between the A,B,C and corresponding supers. I think any of them would look better than our Murray parked in the garage. Not to mention helping to add to my collection, 450 and 706.
 
(quoted from post at 14:52:18 10/23/10) I just about have the wife talked into her needing a farmall so she'll quit molesting the lawn mower with her grossly over weighted lawn trailer. What are the differences between the A,B,C and corresponding supers. I think any of them would look better than our Murray parked in the garage.

Never been a fan of the A and B myself, just too small for anything we do. I have a C, and it's probably the smallest tractor I'd like to have, I really like it though.
 
The A/B/C I think have the same motor. The super A and Super C have a little larger motor. The A didn't have hyd's where the super A did have hyd's. The B never had hyd's it used air from the exhaustlike the A. The super C's had disc brakes and the later super c's had fast hitch which is really nice. The super C is the nicest of the group.
 
The A with a 6ft Woods would make a fine set-up if you have a lot to mow. A lot depends on the layout of your yard trees and stuff also how big is the yard. For smaller yds the C ub and a 5ft will work also lots of them in use. Where do you live.
 
I agree with Gene an A or a cub either one would pretty much fit your bill or a Super A a tad nicer then the A since it has hyds. Both the Super A and the Cub have hyds and for a tractor for a woman a cub is very nice since it is small and sort of cute if a tractor can be cute plus the cub is pretty much an over grown riding lawn tractor any how
 
Depends on your yard. If it is an actual lawn with grass planted and trees etc, your Murray is going to be much easier to manuever than any of those tractors. The smaller, the better. The lighter the better also, so that you don't leave tracks.
 
I have a B with a loader on it and it is about as handy as a pocket on a shirt. Has a lot of lifting power and very small and easy to manuver.
 
If you have more than an acre, and less than 2, and it is manicured grass, the Cub or SA or C/SC will be great. They are not Zero turn mowers, but they are great with open lawns.
An older Cub Cadet is also a great choice if smaller lawn mowing is happening. It is a real tractor and can handle trailers well.

Don't let the wife read this but:
Super C weight ranges from 3,100 - 5,039 pounds; Farmall A weight is 2,400 pounds. This info from:

As other have posted, a nice lawn is best mowed by a rider. Unless you have turf tires, you're gonna' rip the sod up; that won't make anyone happy.
If you can use a Farmall, peek in the implement photo ads - I don't have any connection to the seller - there are several belly mowers for sale, depending on your location/depth of pocketbook. Now don't get discouraged, if you live where it snows, even an outside chance of snow, you should be prepared with a Farmall and front/belly/rear blade or combination of same. Tell her a tractor isn't going to depreciate; tractor rides for kids/grandkids if you have same; promise to put both the seat AND lid down; put your dirty duds in the hamper/washing machine and you should get some red iron. Good luck and post back as others may learn from your results!!!
