Yes a 3 plow tractor. We pulled a 3-12" Massey Harris No. 28 plow with ours. Ours was a 1950 model, first year for gas engine and styling We had the A row crop as well and pulled a 3-12" John Deere No. 55H plow with it. Funny thing the A was rated at 38 PTO HP and the AR was tated at 39 PTO HP. Must have been a bit of difference in gearing to do that. The AR was a very hard steering tractor and front wheels would shimmy so bad you could not drive at fill speed on road. After the steering gear box broke we had it converted to hydrostatic steering using the parts from a blue Ford combine and then the shimmy stoped and you could steer it with one finger. I never liked it that well as I found the seating very uncomfortable compairing it to the other JD row crop tractors we had. Late wife never drove it untill the hydrostatic steering and she liked it then. All we had were 12" plows as did not like a 14" or even gasp a 16" plow. So we pulled 2-12" withe the 38 unstyled JD A, 41 Farmal H at 27 PTO HP, The 46 JD B, the 49 JD B with 28 PTO HP, The 44 2N Ford that when new they brough out a 2-14" plow with it and after 2 or 3 rounds they took back the 14' one and brought out a 2-12", still have tractor and plow. Pulled 2-12" with both the Ford NAA and Ferguson TO-30. Pulled same model plow with the 38 A, the 41 H, the 46 B, 49 B, the TO-30 as well as the International 10-20 tractor. Had the AR on baler a few times and was so had handling the baler I said the heck with that and put the 49 B on and it handled the baler a lot easier than The AR. The AR was good for tillage if you did not mind that offset seat as long as you had the duals on as on first time over plowed ground thoes 12x26" rear tires were just too rough riding. Drawbar sat lower on the AR so even with a wheel disk had to readjust the drawbar for it to run level. If they could have keept the seat from the unstyled AR that precided the styled model it would have been a more comfortable riding tractor but with the styled AR they put the hydrolic controls that the unstyled did not have under the seat and only way to do that was move seat to right.
