Super Special A

You read what I said, I never said a Super A could out pull a 2350, or even keep up under all conditions. All I said was that under the same load which was not excessive for a Super A, Super A was lugging it along in 3rd gear about the same speed as 2350. The 2350 was belching black smoke on the hills, and that is exactly what I said. That is a far cry from what your suggesting.

Now if you and Jim don't understand what I'm saying, may I suggest you take a few lessons in grammer.

For what it's worth, I can see where someone would think you were implying that the Sa was running with the Deere... until I read it again. All that said to me is that the Deere was making some smoke on the hills. There's lots of reasons why that could happen. To start with, the Deere is probably 3 times the weight of the SA, so it's got to work harder to start with. Being a larger tractor, the operator probably decided to gear up/throttle back.... so the tractor would be producing more of it's torque potential while at a low rpm where it's not making much power anyway. Hit a hill where it starts to lug a bit in the higher gear, and it's going to smoke. I've done that kind of thing many times with my Fords. They smoke. I just don't read too much into a bit of smoke...
