In very early 1940 my grandfather purchased a Farmall M rather than a crawler or W series tractor so that the river terraces on the farm could be plowed as high up as they had been in earlier years with horses but could not be plowed with the 10-20. The outbreak of war meant that production was to be extended as much as possible. IHC's comment was that the Farmall M on rubber was much more useful than a crawler and with the wheels at the ends of the axles gave stability. Most farmers around us later used W-6 tractors but they did not have the terraces, we were the only farm in the area with a Farmall. My father did overturn the M in 1945 when it stalled going up the lower part of a terrace and started to run back on the plow. Touch the brakes brought the front up and he bailed out. I remember the agents with shear-legs up-righting the tractor and it was replaced with a new Farmall M this time with a wide front axle.
