Allan, what I pulled with an H was called a land plane in south Texas. Maybe 20 feet long, large upright frame. perhaps 8-10 feet wide, or larger if you had something to pull it. What they call floats in SW Kansas are somewhat shorter, have smaller wheels, and a lighter more compact frame. Perhaps more of a finishing tool, not as heavy duty as a land plane. It may not be necessary to use a land plane each year -- a float may be more routine, don't know. They do look different, many are/were made by Everson. H will pull both, either will bring an H to its knees if run too deep. With the smaller tractors you just make more trips. We only occassionally used a land plane, but used what we called a "drag", 9 feet wide, maybe 15-20? feet long with several cross pieces, no wheels. Strictly a local farm type of thing, as they could not be drug cross country. Made with 6/8 X 10's completely out of wood. There were metal ones. I have not seen a single one of those in Kansas, very common in S Texas, or at least they used to be. Floats and land planes are slowly dying out due to sprinkler irrigation, still a lot of flood, though.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
