That question has been debated in our township for the last 60 yrs or so. In fact I walked into the fertilizer and seed distributor a day or so ago and a couple of coffee geezers were still trying to make their respective points. Our township is typically 6 miles by 6 miles square, and depending on where you live in the township would determine if you were a IH man or a JD man. Our farm was sort of in the middle, so maybe thats why we were a "cross over" farm. We had both IH and JD. My Grandfather had one of the first Farmall A's in the state. My Dad would have had an H, but during the war, he couldnt find on on rubber, so ended up with a JD BW. a great tractor for cultivating, with the rocker arm hydraulics, and even better for pulling beans. There was never any debate as to who had the most power in our area, as we had a 1936 Caterpillar RD-4 that out plowed everything in our area and that included the JD R's and the IH WD-9's. It wasnt until 1960 when the JD 4010's and the IH 706's appeared that we ceded the power debate. As to the H-vs-B debate, I have an H so have operated both to a great extent thru the years, and can see advantages to both models. I personally prefer the H for no particular reason, because if I could find the old BW, I would buy it in a heartbeat. So the debate continues, and hopefully our grandkids will carry it on. Aint it fun...............?
