Hey, fellas. I've been coming to this website for information for quite a while for various information. I just let my 8N go to my grandpa. However, my love is ole' Flathead Ford V8's. I have a little model A roadster that I built into a traditionally styled hot rod; flathead, banjo rear, dropped straight axle, 32 pedals, 35 spoke wheels with wide whites, etc, etc.
Well, let me tell you my situation. I think I'm about to purchase a 40 acre plot of ground. It's half wooded and half old farm field that has been growing up for about 5-10 years. Mostly just underbrush, etc.
I can't afford a modern day tractor and, really, I love the old one's about as much as my little flathead V8 and old Ford cars. Will an H tractor handle a 6' or so bush hog? How well will it handle one? I don't want to cut trees down. I just want to keep up with the fields. And, like my ole' flatty, old stuff was/is built to last a lifetime and I CAN WORK ON IT- unlike this modern day computer controlled time bombs (sorry for the rant). I found an H with a three point hydraulic hitch (do those retrofit hitches REALLY work well...be honest with me) and a belly mower. It looks to be in nice shape (tires, paint, etc) and the price seems reasonable at $2200.
I'm really going to rely heavily on you fellas opinions. I don't want to plop down the cash only to wish I had bought an M or a completely different tractor. Will I be stuck in 1st gear spending 4 hours to cut 1 acre?

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
