My father's dad bought a new H Farmall in 1939. They already had a 2n. Don't know when they bought the first tractor, but they kept one team for cultivating corn. Midnight and Lightning. My grand dad knew you could not cultivate with a tractor without ruining the crop. They were only used for cultivating, and they were very hard to catch the first time in the spring.
