City-Boy...man...I gotta go with Andy Martin on this one. He seemed to cover all the bases. But like pretty much everyone stated, it has a lot to do with what you are going to be running on these 50 acres, and what your day to day chores are. A good point made by a few of the guys, is that 50 years ago...an H would have been big for a 50 acre operation, so maybe you just don"t want to go right to the M. In my opinion (and it"s nothing more than that)... it all depends on how fast you need to work that 50 acres. I"ve got all the time in the world to get my 12 acres of hay cut, raked, and baled. When the shed doors go back, it"s the H nine times out of 10...whether it"s the haybine, spreader, 7" disc, or the 2 bottom. The H is easier on fuel by a d*mn stretch and is a bit more nimble than the M. Though the M could accomplish all of the above chores stated. Do take into consideration how important live power and live hyrdaulics are to you. There are days I wish the H had both, but there still hasn"t been a job that we couldn"t do without either of those two amenities. Maybe the safe bet is to buy both of them...then you have your bases covered! :) Billy

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
