OK Martin , I'll give you my opinion. I've owned 3 John Deere "A"s , and have run my uncles "H" many many hours. The "A" will no doubt have more power/traction. Quite a difference when actually useing the two tractors. Lets start with the "A". For brush hogging , depending on what the conditions are , you will go through more shear pins , should you have shear pin protection on the brush hog. You will use more gas , and your ears will hurt/ring by the time your through. The john Deere also has a fast reverse. The only thing the fast reverse is good for is backing up distance. Snow plowing is a good example. Pros and cons about hand clutch. On the plus side , the "A" has better brakes , and much better gear selection. I personally like the "A" better. Now for the "H". The "H" is an all around , more user friendly tractor than the "A". It may be smaller , but will still do a good job brush hogging. Slower , more powerful reverse. More control in reverse. The forward gears are what I hate the most about the older farm-alls. Not a very good selection of gears. All gears , except for 5th , are slow. Fith is fast , with little power(not that the "A" is a power house in 6th). The "H" is easyer on the ears , shear pins , and gas. All in all , I think the "H" would be the better choice. And I'm not a farm-all fan.
