Farmall H

Hello,
Just got a 51 H on Saturday. Its in slightly better than average condition. Needs a little paint work (faded, straight tin), but it runs like a top. It came with a L59 Woods mower, Little Genius #8 plow, rear snowplow on a hydraulic cylinder, disc, and culti-packer. Everything is in pretty good shape, and seems to have been well maintained. I'm amazed at how much more comfortable the H is compared to my SM. It's almost like the M's were built for guys over 6 feet tall, and the H's are built for the short guys like me. It steers great compared to the SM too. This is the first time I've ever run an H, and so far I'm impressed. The main reason I bought it is because my MTD lawn tractor is getting killed by my 5 acres of mowing. The H is a little bulky around trees, but works awesome in the open, and turns almost as sharp as a zero turn. I'm also suprised by the quality of cut the woods deck gives. The best part is, my wife was the one who wanted me to get it. She saw it in the paper and went with me to look at it. I think she's getting tired of being nickel and dimed with MTD spindles. Anyway, just thought I'd share. Take care... Shawn

Sounds like a good thing. They do turn very tight. I'm 7' tall and
am happily surprised at how well I fit on my H, but I've never been
on an M or SM.

I've got an H, Super C and Super M...seats are
adjustable and I fit great on all 3. I use the SM
for plowing, discing and planting, H for bush
hogging and cultivating and the SC for mowing like
you with the Woods belly mower and the manure
spreader...my SM steers a little hard too, but, I
like that when working the plowed field with the
disc...and I love the SM power

With a wife like that, you just can't lose!

Congrats on your purchase. I am 6'5'' and fit well on my M, but feel a little big on my H.
