My brothers went out to get hay in the field late fall in the late 50's with a Farmall H and a hay wagon, but there was one or 2 foot of snow on the ground. When the wagon was loaded down the H could not pull it. Basically got stuck. An H is not a light weight. Well they went home and got the WD-45 with chains on the tires and it pulled both the H and haywagon out of the field together. As I am told the Allis just kept going through the snow, no lack of power or traction. I think before this my brothers did not have respect for the Allis. But did now.

I would hope that a WD-45 would out perform a JD 60. The JD 60 was less that 40 HP. Even the JD 630, last of the 2 bangers was only 43.XX pto hp.

The 60 had 40 hp the 45 had 43 hp per Neb. Test. Stand them side by side and the 60 looks impressive but that's where the impressiveness ends. A 45 will also out do a 70 Deere and I have seen them out do a UB MM plowing.

H is no problem. When you witness the WD45 outperform a 60 Deere or a Super M plowing in a field, that is truly a feat. The 45 makes em look bad. Seen and done that.

In 1964 my Wd45 Tandem could pull a Case 6/14" in Corn Stalk Stubble with no problem. In Alfalfa Sod Plowing I had a John Deere 5/14" I used.I also pulled a Kewanee 16" Wheel Disc with the set up. I was young and it was complicated to operate but we got the job done. Neighbors all laughed at the set up but the ones progressive thought it was the future.In 1965 I bought an AC 190 Gas,an AC 5/14" Slat Bottom Plow and sort of retired the WD45 Tandem. The 190 could not pull the 16" disc so I got an AC 12" and went faster with a mounted Drag besides. I also gave up some marginal rented ground in 1965 and showed some bottom line improvement.120 Acres of Corn,80 Acres of Soybeans,80 acres of Hay and 40 acres of pasture etc. and my AC 190 along with an D17 and the two WD45"s and any kind of help I could find got the job done. Unfortunatly the Early 1970"s were not kind to Dairy Farmers so end of story. I kept one of the WD45"s for about 20 years and gave it to my son for a suvenior in the 1990"s. He uses it still with a back Blade to keep his lane clear in the winter and smooth the rest of the year. The kid grew up running a Wd45 AC.He turned out just fine.
