Go get your rope and bicycle and I will be at the pulling strip with my F-12 waitin fer ya!, Bring cash! I would bet an F-12 will pull a cub backwards! At a show in Elnora, IN I pulled a loaded semi with several tractors on the trailer out of the mud during a bad rain storm. The guy in the truck and I both were suprised it did it and he gave me a rain soaked $20 to go get lunch and coffee! 2 years ago I pulled several 2 ft dia x 16 ft long wet and heavy wild cherry and white oak logs up a long steep hill. The ol F-12 never missed a beat, but sure was loud doing it. There were some equipment for the F-12s more that plows, They are just hard to find since most F12 buyers of the time were poor folk and would hook up some of their old horsedrawn equipment do do field work. The F12 was one of the best cultivating tractors of its day for smaller farms. I ran a new holland 64 baler and hay rake with mine when not skidding logs out of the woods. The big drawback is no hydraulics until they made the late ones and they were not that strong and the lift is a short throw. Any lifting of equipment like cultivators was done with long levers mounted on the rear axels. I have seen a front mounted snow blade and it used the cultivator levers to raise the blade, just takes arm strength. I like my F12 but sometimes you have to be creative how you use it. I mostly work mine, it does get to shows, but it goes with dirt on it.
