I have been using a super H for 3 years to move 4 x 5 bales (800#)from storage to feed area. I never lift them more than 12-18inches off the ground . Transport 100 yards or less. Tires hold up good . Makes steering a little difficult. Loose a lot of rear traction But get the job done. Only feed 25 bales a year in this goat ranch operation. An old friend says I am putting to much on the tractor. Any body else feeding with H ?

Neighbor rolls and stacks over 500 alfalfa big rounds every year. About 1400lb bales. H with original wide front, F-11 loader.

Grandpa and Dad both had H's at one point that were used to feed cattle big round bales with an F10 Farmhand loader. After that, they moved all the way up to an M!

You're doing just fine, I make my H's earn their keep yet, as well.

I also have a Super H class 2 with a Kelly Loader on the front, wide front end, which has been return to showroom new. Is your H a wide front end and does your Kelly loader have the manure forks and the snow bucket attachment. The H here is used mainly for pushing snow back as we live right on the edge of the snow belt here in Central NY The lake effect can be bad here at times, also push snow with a Super A with blade and a Cub with a blade. Each tractor has chains and weights Can never have enough tractors ready to push snow in Central NY

Yes, I do have the snow wings to put on the manure fork. I slip the fork under the bales and then slip a 1/4" chain around bale to hold it on.

Used to rountinely stack hay as late as 1974 with the F-10 mounted on an H.

Ya just haven't put up hay until you've pushed 2 ton of heavy alfalfa hay up some 27' over yer head.

Gives me the shakes just thinking about it. Those were some huge stacks! :>)

Allan, That looks just like the only tractor and loader we had on the farm when I was growing up in southern South Dakota. We stacked hay with an H with a Farmhand loader. We then used that Farmhand with a grapple fork to feed the hay and silage in the winter. Then we loaded the manure out in the spring with the same H and Farmhand. Even tipped it over a couple times, but with the Farmhand frame, that was no big deal, you just hooked on to it with the Super H and pull it upright and go back to work. My dad used that H and Farmhand for about 30 years. Roger

Allen Is that a 600 or 650 I.H. in the background of that second picture?

Provided the sheet metal is original and has the original color, it is a 600 with the grille painted white at some point. The wheatland tractors did not get the different sheet metal that the 300-450 row crops had, but IH included a white stripe on the hood of the 650 that was different than the red/white combination seen on some repainted letter and W series tractors.

Hi Wayne,

I'm very familiar with that Sidney area of Montana. Would sneak over there from Williston from time to time to retreive my sanity.

That area is a cookie cutter duplicate of this area down here, only with a bit shorter growing season.

Always seemed like "home" to me while I was up there in "exile". :>)

Where was that picture taken?
Looks like the unit I grew up with!! Dad had an M with the H-M 1 beet topper on it & then bought a 400 in 1956.
Lots of beet harvest memories & sore knuckles from beets bouncing off them while using the picking table.
Our farm was in the Yellowstone Valley near the confluence with the Missouri. The Holley Sugar factory was in Sidney, Montana.

Good thinking as not lifting any higher sure it will steer hard but carrying it close to the ground it sure aint going to upset go slow and you will be ok.

Alan, what is that thing, what does it do and how does it work? Does it acutally dig up the beets and elevate them up to the wagon pulled behind?? Not many beets grown in NE Missouri..Thanks, Cmore

Yes Sir,

These things were used forever around these parts to dig millions of acres of beets one row at a time. They did an excellent job of cleaning the beet and were a HUGE imprvement over the old days of doing it by hand.

Every power source on the tractor was used.

The hydraulics to lift the unit in and out of the ground, the knife, top slinger, kicker bed and elevator all were run off the belt pulley and the PTO ran the cart's elevator to unload into the truck.

This one mounted on an M still runs down here around Chimney Rock as an old time demonstrator.
