Take gravel back roads whenever possible to avoid traffic. Traffic is usually more tolerant of a slower vehicles on the back roads compared to the paved high traffic roads. Early Sunday morning is the best time to move farm equipment. People seem to be patient when they are going to church, but no so much after church lets out, LOL. Maybe drive your route ahead of time to find any hazards, maybe when going to the dealer to pickup the tractor.

Bring gas and a tow strap. It will probably burn 4 or 5 gallons to go 30 miles in hills. I would put in 10 gallons before starting out as fuel will move to the ends of the tank on steep hills. Wide open road speeds should be around 15 MPH in 5th gear and 5 MPH in 4th gear. A rule of thumb is to go down hills in the same gear as was needed to climb the hill. The engine won't be able to hold you back if you descend in too high a gear. The brakes on an H will not be anywhere near as strong as the brakes on a car and may fade on a long down hill. Throttle back and slow down when starting down a steep hill to reduce your speed ahead of time.

Just like on a bike, where it's not safe to have someone pass you hold your position in the center of your lane. If someone tries to pass you on a hill and an oncoming car appears, there may not be room for three vehicles side by side. You will probably be the one pushed into the ditch and maybe have a roll over accident. Be careful, think ahead, and when possible pull to the side at intersections to allow cars to pass you safely.

Today's Featured Article - Memories of an IH Super A When I was ? up to 10, I worked on my Papaw's farm in Greeneville, TN every summer. As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to ... [Read Article]
