Harley: Good advice, had a neighbor that was basically a hay and livestock farm. He had a new 584 diesel with loader and what we always refered to as a fleet of H, SH, 300 and 350. Must have had 6-8 of them. Used them all summer haying and spreading manure.

Come fall he'd back them in the shed, remove the batteries, rebuild any that quit during the summer. Come spring he'd install the batteries, never even tried the starters, just towed them out of shed. He claimed all of them started within 50' of the shed. He'd let them warm up and charge batteries for about an hour, then shut them down, change oil, filter, service the air cleaner, check ign and grease them and was away for another season.

He claimed for his type of farming it was the least expensive way to go. He never used more than 4-5 of them at any given time. If you went to an auction you could always count on him bidding the H, SH, 300 or 350. Never hurts to have spare he claimed. Lets face it he was right, any of those tractors will mow, rake, haul a wagon load of hay and pull a 150 bu manure spreader, plus they will run forever doing as he was doing.
