I used narrow steel on an H in the 50's mainly for cultivating narrow rows, also used for tillage in other fields during the cultivation period. We had rubber for tillage otherwise. I could tell no difference in the ride when cultivating or tillage. Also no difference in power. One summer we left the steel wheels on and plowed with it, no noticeable loss of power there. When going to and from the field it was off the road and run on the edge of the field. So the only disadvantage is a rough ride on the road and the loss of 5th gear. Our H came with rubber so 5th was not locked out. However 5th did not need to be locked out because the H could not turn the steel wheels on soft or hard ground. I tried that several times, the H would not move. We did not have the wide steel, I doubt if it made any difference. As far as mud, stay out of deep mud, If really stuck you cannot spin the wheels with the hope of locking one and getting to move with the other wheel. However, I could turn around in "shallow" mud or irrigation water at the ends of otherwise dry fields when cultivating.
