Good discussion so far... I have an H that I rebuilt and modified to my liking as a mowing tractor, it has an IH 1110 fully mounted sickle bar mower on it. From my experience, the H is much better on fuel than an M and still big enough to do a real day's work. Comparing the H and Super C is somewhat apples to oranges comparison. Horsepower is about the same, but as the H has more cubic inches and a longer stroke, the engine will lug down and pull more in a tough spot. The Super C has live hydraulics which can be really handy, depending on what you are using the tractor for. I think that bush hogging would be easier with the live hydraulics, because you can push the clutch in to stop - raise or lower the implement - then go again. What size disc harrow do you plan to pull? A Super C may not have enough tire or weight on it to get the traction you need in loose soil to get the horsepower to the ground. Also, the H has a stronger frame/torque tube than the Super C and will take more abuse over rough land, etc. In the end, it's up to your preferences and what you plan to use the tractor for the most. Personally, I would buy a 300 or 350 and move up to even more horsepower, live hydraulics, and maybe even power steering. I really wish I would have put my money into a 300 or 350 instead of my H...
