Love the H…sat between Dad’s knees before we started school, then on as we aged to work the H and M farmalls. More than 65 years ago. Dad worked the farm till he was 80. Still had an H that he gave to grandson in estate. Nice job harrowing 😀
Cracked me up with the excerpt from the Six Million Dollar Man. What a sense of humor! Nice looking H. Agree would rather hear tractor than music. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful video, 30 years ago I bought a 1951 Farmall M from my Uncle Tom, made improvements to it electrical & mechanical, and still use it today. I wished it had power steering LOL.... Anyhow it has a front end loader which moved very large boulders. Still have it and use it for my property landscaping..
@@stevetrue1332 I think hydraulics and power steering are two unsung technological advancements in tractors. I drove the old ones without power steering and hydraulics so one had to raise and lower implements by hand using levers. Not a lot of fun, especially if you were having to do it with row crop.
Hey Steve, that Farmall H and disc cut the soil like it was hot butter. Just curious why you were disking the soil up in August? Did you plant a cover crop (e.g winter wheat)?
The disc in the video is just under 9'. In soft dirt the H will lose traction. When this happens I just raise the disc a bit. From the factory in 1952 this H had Sodium (or Calcium?) Chloride injected in the tires to add weight. As result of a somewhat recent restoration the liquid was removed. The lack of extra weight (and old tires) could attribute to the loss of traction. In my opinion the engine has the power to pull a 9' disc.
@@stevetrue1332 Calcium chloride was used to increase the density of the water used as ballast in the tires. It was less corrosive and provided higher density (weight). We pulled an identical disc with an AC D-14 and in soft dirt (plowed) being prepped for raised beds (tomato, peppers) it was a load for that tractor. That disc behind a Super H would work well, probably a load for the H I would think. Loved watching the video, back in the day a farmer really needed to know the soil and how to work it. With the horsepower today, you can pretty much do anything you want. Great video and your place is in exceptional shape.
Nice video, very nicely done, and I like the dramatics at the end. And very, very nice H. So it's a 1952? That would be the last year of the H, as the Super H came out in 1953.
My Dad had the first Super H sold my Jefferies Implement in Louisiana, MO. A neighbor bought the last H and when he sold out of farming my Dad bought that tractor. It is amazing how much more work the Super H would do than the Regular H.
@@stevetrue1332 The Super H were made in 1953 and 1954, the last H was in 1953. It might be possible for a leftover 1953 H to be sold in 1954, but by 1954 IH was making the Super H.
@@stevetrue1332 I think it was perfect like this, at the beginning we could hear the pure tractor sound, then some chilling drone cam with proper music!
Hi Jim, my Dad enjoyed hearing the H under load. Brought back memories. This tractor was purchased by his Dad brand new in 1952. No worries on the drone. After replacing a broken arm it's flying again.
@@stevetrue1332 Love the old Farmalls, Had an H and a Super C that I mowed roadside for many of the towns and for the state of Maine in the 80s. Paid the tractors well and also me and my hired man. Again, thanks for sharing.
This brings back fond memories.
Love the Farmalls. I have four in the barn. thanks for sharing

Those motors sound so good.

Very pretty place. Everything looks well kept👍
Thank you! 🤗
Nice, very nice. Thanks for the memories! Exactly like the H I grew up driving. We called it a wheel harrow though.
Nice working set of discs
Thanks 👍

Great sounding old tractor. Never saw a single hydraulic hose connection before. We always had a dual connection
Good eye! Hydraulics up, gravity down.

Best era of farming right there.
Nice ending. Good job on the field
Churns it up pretty good.
great stufff,, thank you,, amen,,
Awesome tractor looks great....
Thanks 👍
Sounds good ! 😊
Really awesome video!
Thanks a lot!
@@stevetrue1332 You’re welcome!
If you added a weight onto the disc would it still be able to lift up high enough to not till and would it be able to till better?

Hi Robert, we have planted a cover crop on that plot in the past but this was just weed control.
good looking h had a pair at one time
Thanks!
Came to hear the tractor of my youth... instead got 'music' ... 😢
Dad's h, was bought in 1946 on his g.i. loan
It would be a long way to the other side of 100acres lol nice H&JD disk
Just Subscribed. We have several tractors. Mostly letter series farmalls. We have video on our channel of a H we are working on.
Thanks for the sub!
What is the model of the disk? I have the same set up just a M to pull it.
Hi Kyle. It's a John Deere disk with a 9ft cutting swath. Age unknown. I couldn't find model information or tag.
Very cool. Im hoping to disk this fall with my h. Hows it handle it? Is 9' a lot for the machine?

My understanding is the H ran from 1939 to 1954.

T-Mo. Yes, the H in the video was built in 1952.
Nothing against you music choice, but I prefer to hear the tractor. Just my 2 cents. (However, i loved the six million dollar man throwback.)
Thanks Anthony! My drone doesn't have audio that is why I added music.

👍👌🇨🇦❤, new sub, gr8 video
I have the exact same harrow just without the wheels
Is that a 10 foot John Deere disk?
Hi. It's a John Deere disk with a 9ft cutting swath. Age unknown. I couldn't find model information or tag.
@@stevetrue1332 That's a John Deere KB model disk. It was originally used as a finishing disk with a drag or culti-packer behind it.
That old H purred like a kitty cat. New to your channel. Ouch on the drone. Many blessings.

Haha we have the same disk
This would be considered hobby farming I know I'll get an answer back how many farmers do you be in sneakers and shorts LOL
