MD nut: However the reverse is not so; a Ford is not necessarily a Mercury or a Lincoln, GM is not necessarily an Olds or a Buick and IH is not necessarily a Farmall. To guys that farmed all their lives mostly with Farmalls there is a huge difference. My dad started off in 38 with a Fordson, said it didn't help the horses, but rather created work for the horses tow starting it. He traded that off for a new W4 in 42, and thought what a great tractor, but it wouldn't hold a candle to the new H he bought in 51. In fact the lowly little Farmall 130 he bought in 58 would match the W4 anyday. Two jobs I remember was 130 bu manure spreader and two bottom plow, 130 was quite a match for the W4 in the field. If you look at the years from 54 through to 62, those Utilities were bought by folks too old and crippled to climb on a Farmall, and for the most part were farming very small acerage. In my area the farmer that had a lot of acres to cover bought a Farmall, without exception. Yes, I can agree with the guy that started this thread, IH put the name FARMALL on those row crops for a reason. The rest of the line up were not worthy of the same. In my opinion, if one can not properly identfy the tractor he is not capable of intelligent discussion. Quite frankly, I never bother with those guys. Then you have the guys advertising tractors for sale. A Farmall W series is false advertising.
