In 1950, Dad got a JD hay chopper and pulled it with our Farmall H. About 90% of the time, it was a 1st gear operation. In '52, we got a Farmall M, and it handled it well in 2nd. A neighbor had what was (I think) the same model chopper with a one-row corn head. He and Dad swapped a lot of work. The neighbor pulled his chopper with a JD 70. The M was tweaked up with M&W stuff, and could keep pace with the 70 in corn. The 70, with a little different gearing, probably had the edge with our chopper in heavy windrowed hay. An H does not belong on a forage harvester if you have any other reasonable choice.
