Hi Glenn, It is kinda hard to explain, but back when these things came out, they were a huge improvement over the use of horses for row crop farming. Very seldom did you have the use of tandem implements; most everything was dragged around via the drawbar or mounted directly to the tractor. It was just the norm of the day. A four section harrow, four section rotary hoe, 2 row cultivators and 6 22" row beat and bean equipment was just the equipment that was back then; not to mention smaller mowers, hay rakes and stackers. So, the H was designed and used exactly for what was needed at the time. It's counterparts were the JD B, the Case DC and the Ford 8N.

That was a long time ago, but it seems like only yesterday. :>) Allan
