In Reply to: Farmall H for loader work posted by Sunny 4 acres on December 22, 2006 at 16:52:07:
I have a trip bucket loader on a Farmall Super M-narrow front. The loader is a Farmhand F-11 (I believe). I bought it from a guy who had had it on a H. He had busted the casing on his H using it. I think he got into some rock with it. I have had it on my M for 15 years though and have not had any problems with it. I have found that I use the loader quite frequently. Have to be careful not to over tourque it into the ground when scraping up dirt to move, like someone mentioned, it"s not a bulldozer. If the dirt is loose or has some moisture in it, it does much better (scraping up). It will work well for lifting scrap metal and will do okay filling in a washout-if it is not a major wash-out.. It will take some time though. It will not quickly move a lot of dirt, but it can get the job done. There is a lot of moving forward, backing up, etc (after tripping the bucket to reset). Be careful, particularly on a hill and slopes and if there are shallow depressions that you might back into. It can be rather awkward. Keep the bucket as low as possible when loaded and go slow. My M has power-steering. Without power-steering, I would think it could be very difficult to manuver because there is a lot of weight on the front-end, it would be tough to easily steer and move it around with much precision.

We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel.
