All depends on how much you want to modify it...what division you want to pull (not weight classes but division as differentiated by modifications.) Stock they do fairly well but in the 4500 and 5000 class they will generally fall victim to Super Cs and Oliver Super 66s (the low 1st gear option can help that alot!)...and once you get above the 5000 class Super Hs begin to appear, and WD 45s are gettin enough weight on 'em to be real tough for an H to beat.
No color bias here...I love and use 'em all, but in the classes you will be pulling generally with an H stock, no John is gonna give you any trouble (I mean truly stock here guys). B Johnnies with mods that bump 'em up into Div. II can be killers, but won't bother ya in stock classes. Late A Johnnies on the other hand are much more adept in the stock classes than B's but you are getting weighted up pretty good when they come into play.
If you have an H you will have lotsa fun, be fairly competitive, and win 1 hear and there. If you are looking to purchase a tractor that will be VERY competitive in the most classes stock, my 1st choice would be an Oliver Super 66 and a stack of weights (Div I or "stock" to me means no hanging weights, just wheel weights in their stocl locations: NATPA rules) but the Super 66 and Oliver weights will require deep pockets. The best alternative IMHO is a Super C: won't cost ya much if any more than an H and IH wheel weights are cheap comparitively speaking (make sure you get a set of front wheel heights, and a cpl sets of half weights.
We used to go to a typical pull with a 2N Ford, a Super C, a JD B, a Super H, a JD A, and a JD70...pretty much covered all classes and except the B we always knew we had a chance to win. With gas prices the way they are now we usually only take 1; the Super C and lotsa weights, ours has FH so we never make 3000 unless they have the 200lb driver allowance, usually competitive at 3500, Very Competitive at 4000, 4500, and 5000, and will still be around at the end of a 5500 class!
