My grandfather bought a new H during WWII. They had to wait a while to get it, and it was delivered on April 25, 1944. My brother still has it, although I was the one that farmed with my dad. Started driving the ole H in about 1965.
My family farm was 314 acres. They plowed, disked, pulled the planter, and cultivated the crop. I rode on the platform of the AC pull type combine for it seems like a million acres of wheat. They also pulled a one row corn picker with it Silage chopper and or blower would have been a little much.
It also pulled tree tops out of the woods to be cut up for firewood, and pulled the logs out to be sold. It pulled a number of dead cows down to the holler when they didn't make it through the winter.
It was our main feed tractor. Pulled the JD wagon about a zillion miles delivering square bales of hay and silage to the cows. I have seen it plowing through the mud and snow, cutting ruts a foot or so deep. We also had a wood saw that mounted on the front and we cut a lot of firewood with it.
It was probably the most used tractor on the farm, being used while the 706 and 766 sat on the side lines and watched.
