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. Add to the fact that IH had the foresight to make the tractor easily adaptable to the fast-hitch system and in my opinion the MTA was impressive for its time. This is my opinion. I am fully aware that tone of voice can easily be mistrued from simple text, but I respectfully asure you, sir, that I "know my way around" farming and tractors and most things agriculture related, as the profession has been in my family for generations. I feel I am a very respectful young man, but I will not allow myself to be "talked down to". I welcome your and everyone else's knowledge and insight on this board. If I interpreted your reply wrong I apologize.
