Haying with Super A

I have even baled a few loads of hay, pulling a NH S-69 baler with thrower and a 20' wagon behind, on level ground, with my Farmall 130.

I had an uncle that milked 20 cows back in the 1950s and did all his farm work with a Super A including mowing, raking, baling, hauling, manure spreading, plowing, etc. He farmed close to 100 acres and Super A was only tractor.

There is a guy near here, just finished restoring a Farmall 300 his dad bought new. When his dad bought this tractor new it was to farm 500 acres, cash crop. He had one other small tractor.

All the IH mowers built for the Super A were good mowers, as long as the wear plates, hold downs, ledgers and knives are in good shape. Check that one out carefully as those wear parts are quite expensive. I always say a mower is worth scrap metal price plus the cost of all those wear parts that you don't need to buy to make it work well.
