Dr Evil--You made a point that I have made several times that nobody seems to notice, in relation to the faster gears. I ran an H for many hours with equipment that was a little small for an H, basically the same equipment my dad used for a B. We had a 6 ft tandem disk that we weighted very heavily and ran it 90% of the time in 3rd. We rarely used the 5 1/8 mph 4th because the H would not quite get up to the loaded rpm. Thus nearly all tillage except plowing was done with the 4 1/4 mph 3rd gear speed. I did not compare it with a Super H, but I am sure the Super H would be fine in the 5 mph third with the same implement but wouldn't even be close in the 6 5/8 fourth. Thus the Super H won't pull a larger implement than the H in 3rd or 4th because the HP increase is canceled by the higher ground speeds but it will pull the same implement faster. The SH will also pull a larger plow, or the same one deeper in 2nd however. But, I imagine an H with increased power (fire craters) may well be the better tractor, because then 4th becomes a tillage gear (at least with a disk), and you still have a slower third for the more challenging soils in a field, and 2nd becomes a better plowing gear. The SH 4th is really a light duty gear. I don't think the SH should be compared to a standard power M, as the M is 1000 lbs heavier, and really has better tillage speeds. So much for all the babble. I am NOT running down the Super H. I have a stage 2, and would not trade it for anything. Now if I had guts enough to change the thing to an HTA---

Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
