IH came out with a chopper in 1948 (their first one) that was very poorly engineered. It had a tiny litle blower on it and it was basically designed like an old silo filler. It took so much power to run it that it was almost useless. Neighbors bought one (PTO powered) and they used a Massey Harris 44 special to power it in nuetral and hooked a John Deere B with a creeper gear in front to tow it. There they went across the field at maybe 1/2 mph and the Massey running wide open. It took a long time to get their silos filled. My dad wanted none of that but about a year later he bought a new John Deere chopper which didn't require even half as much power to run. What an engineering flop that IH was. It cost more than the JD, too. No wonder they're out of business.
