The W4 is not going to pull as much as your H is unless you start adding weight. The small tires spin easily, and you will have a sore rear end and a sick stomach in a bumpy field in fourth gear. The improvement in turning radius will be nearly negligible. Most W4's came without hydraulics because the niche the tractor was used for usually didn't require it. If you find one with hydraulics, it is a more modern system than the H had, as it is a live hydraulic system. In my opinion, they are easier to get onto and more comfortable to sit on until you get in a bumpy field. Our W6 has had the seat replaced with a Farmall M spring and shock absorber seat, which helps, but it still doesn't ride as good as our M. I like to lean against the fenders while driving, and like having the platform steps to walk up on, instead of using the drawbar. The platform is also nice for carrying bags of seed while using the grain drill, although the ones on a W4 are smaller. It will fit in smaller and much lower places than your H, but it won't be easy to maneuver once you are in them. Also, their steering effort seems comparable to the Farmall in my opinion. It is only when the tractor is stationary that I would say the Farmall steers easier.
