We ran an IH 234 mounted on an Oliver 1650 for many years and were very satisfied with the unit. It had plenty of power - even when pulling a Field Hand hopper over soft ground with 3 tons of sweet corn on board. Outfit was also very maneuverable, had good visibility and was generally easy on the operator.

We ran the picker the first year on a Super M discovered quickly that it had insufficient power - even with a "hot rodded" motor developing 50+ HP. The the lack of a live PTO was a real problem. Finally having only two usable forward gears and lacking a power shift transmission limited the outfit's flexibility to varying crop conditions.
