An M Farmall should be compared to an A JD,not a 60 JD.We had both on our farm when I was a kid.Dad pulled 3x14's(Case)with our 1949 M and I pulled 2x16's (#44 JD)with our 1947 A JD.He lapped me about every 4 rounds when plowing.The A was .90 over with aluminum pistons and was still no match for the M when plowing or disking.

Our A had the 3 speed-2 speed tranny which I never liked.I drove our neighbors 1951 A JD with the straight 6 speed and I liked it much better.I tried to get Dad to trade for a 1947 G JD but he wouldnt.

Our old A JD held up good but we much preferred the M Farmall for the heavy tillage work.I never was much of a fan of the JD hand clutch.I dont know why but I never enjoyed driving the A JD nor the 1944 B JD that we owned ahead of it.Our 8N Ford would walk all over our B JD with both pulling 2x14's.Both our A & B JDs were dependable but they were the last JD's to ever be used on our farm.The 1947 A JD was traded for a 1962 M-5 MM in 1967.
