In regards to the earlier post, by "ahead of its time" I was referring to to the torque amplifier. Although other manufacturers may have had more gears, the ability to shift on the go was a major advancement. The SMTA was the first tractor to come out with the TA, an option which remained on IH tractors until the company's merger and complete revamping of its product line.

If I interpreted your reply wrong I apologize.
