Go to potato country if you want to see why they built a 2 row cultivator for an M. An H wont handle the job very well. Those boys are trying to loosen enough soil to keep the potato crop covered. I once bought a has been potato farm, in the early days they used a wide gauge crawler on two 36" rows. Later he went to a Massey Harris GP, 4x4 had the traction but lacked power for speed. In 1967 he bought a new 656 and 504, put a 2000 loader on the 656, planned on using it for plowing, diskig, etc. He bought a 2 row cultivator for the 504, center mount and rear tool bar. One year later the 2000 loader was on the 504 and the 2 row cultivators were on the 656, he said the 504 just wouldn't handle the 2 row cultivator. He said under some conditions it could give the 656 traction problems.
I've been to PEI, potato capital of Canada, watched them using 4 row on 856, 1256, 966 and 1066. I'm sure they were loading those tractors. In fact I've never seen folks make a tractor look old any faster than PE Islanders. Man those guys could beat a tractor to death in a hurry.
