Bob: Wardner is correct you might have been polite enough to link this to the previous thread. Since your not, I'll speak my peace. I said the Super MTA was not as you claimed. "ahead of it's time" my feeling was IH were about 8 years behind the time. Both the Cockshutt 40 and Oliver 88 had 6 cylinder engines, both Cockshutt and Oliver had Independant PTO by 1946. Cockshutt had live dual action hydraulics by 1946. Not sure when Oliver go the live hydraulics. Both Cockshutt and Oliver had a much better range of gears at working speeds. I also said that SMTA could not hold a candle to Cockshutt 40 or Oliver 88 either at the drawbar or on the pto shaft. I stand by that and if that creates a problem for you, so be it. I'll now go one step further, and by the way I clocked over 75,000 hours on 5 TA equipped tractors. TA did not give one a wider range of working speeds, it did little more than reduce 4th to 3rd and 3rd to 2nd. We waited for 8 years for a TA that would hold back on the low side. Cockshutt and Oliver both had durable IPTO from day one in 1946. I had a 300, 560 and 504, let me assure you IH IPTO was not durable until the introduction of 06 tractors. Don't talk fast hitch to me, I cut two of them up for scrap before the tractors were 10 years old. By the way Harry Ferguson won the hitch war before IH sold it's first fast hitch on the Super C.

Show Coverage: Fair Weather Tractor - by Dave M.. No, Fair Weather isn't some rare brand. It's the kind you can't leave out in the rain. Here's how it happened. I had been casually looking for a tractor for weeks. I saw a few 9N's, but they had even fewer amenities than the 8N my Grandpa bought new in '52 with a Dearborn loader. That was 10 years before I was born, so I grew up thinking that 8N was the world's best tractor. Grandpa had greenhouses, with over half an acre under glass, and that 8N did almost everything. It was the only
