Marketing? Cultivision was marketing to descrive the off-set of the tractor. Maybe someone can add on that.
There is no Super A "cultivision" model to my knowledge.

None it was just a way to make a tractor look like it could do more and was just a marketing thing to play tricks to people who did not understand things well

The term "culti-vision" was used in marketing from the introduction of the A through the end of the 140. It was not originally on the circle model letter decal but was added very early in production. It was added to the B at the same time. The early Super A that had the wavy "SUPER" in the circle decal also had the word "culti-vision". It was dropped off when the circle decal was changed to the white background.
An exception was the International A and Super A (industrial/commercial). They never displayed the word "culti-vision" or used the word in advertising. It was only used on Farmalls.

The early Super A with the wavy Super across the A had cultivision on the circle.
All the farmall offset tractors have/are "cultivision" - the term refers to the ability to look down and see what you're cultivating as you drive.
The 48's put the word "cultivision" on the bottome of the circlular "super a" decal on the hood - and put the word "super" in the wavy banner. I'll attach the picture.
Note that as I said in an earlier reply that the "mccormick farmall" decals you see in this picture - though used VERY often on 48's - are not the correct ones - they should read McCormick Deering.
Not that it REALLY matters - but if you're trying to get it back to original, might as well use the right ones.

Advertising, yes; trick no. In 1939, early 40's people were using horses, etc to cultivate. My dad was one of them. When he got his 1st B, he phased out his mules. Cultivision indicates that you can look down on the cultivator--it works. It is a better term than putting "offset" on the decal. IH did it right.

The early Super A was very different from the A. And the changes were important. By comparison, the later change in engine displacement for the Supar A1 was inconsequential.
The main difference between the Super A and the straight A was the availability of Touch Control hydraulics, which is huge. From a distance they look the "same" but they are very different, to the point very few if any mounted implements will interchange between the two. The 123 engine displacement came withe the Super A-1's (Code 2 Super A) in late '54.
The "cultivision" decals with the wavy Super were used officially until 1951. I expect they continued using them until the supply ran out. Then they adopted the white background "Super A" with the Super over the A, like a Super C, Super H, or Super M.
