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---
