Well,I had been thinking that an H would be a nice addition as a second tractor for our hobby farm (45 acres and we have a Ford 5610, 4x4 with FEL). I grew up driving my grandfather"s A but the idea of a larger model with a quick hitch for some ploughing, mowing, etc seemed more useful. So as I"m looking I have run across a fellow selling a pretty decent Super C with 2 point quick hitch and a quick hitch, 2 bottom plough. There is also a 7" sicle mower for the C that may be available as well as a wide front end. He has owned it for some time, it sees regular use, and appears looked after.
Mowing would be my main excuse for the tractor and a small bush hog style mower would be best. I"m wondering if the SC can handle one or should I keep looking for an H? Also wondering how much harder on fuel the H would be than the C, although for my level of use that shouldn"t really be an issue. The gent with the SC says he bought it instead of an H due to fuel consumption.
I understand that everyone has a favorite but for my purposes is there a strong reason to select one over the other? Thanks.
