You would have to be model or series specific to compair brands. In my opinion, every brand had good ones and bad ones and with every tractor I drive I will find things I like and things I don't. Different models have varying features, like you won't find hydrolic brakes, power steering, or live hydrolics and live PTO on a Farmall M, but you will on a IH 484, and tecnology has brought lots of improvments as time marches on. Torque amplifyers didn't come out until around 1954-1955, and were a weak spot if they were abused, but this improvment brought twice the gear selections, instead of the regular 5 speeds ahead on the farmall super M, an super M-TA had 10 speeds ahead and that made finding just the right speed for the job easier. That was the trouble with the older tractors is they didn't have enough gears to choose from for some tasks. It all depends what you are doing as to your tractor needs, old tractors are many times cheaper than a new one, but say if you wanted to run a 3pt tiller or other low speed application, then I'd suggest a newer tractor with a creeper gear for that. Old tractors still have their place, but the newer tractors are able to do some things better and it all depends on your needs and your pocketbook.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
