Grew up on H's. We farmed 880 acres of row crops with 4 of them during the 1950's and early '60's. One of the two we used the most had 11-38's (now 12.4's) & the other one 10-38's (now 11.2's) from the factory. Later put on 12-38's (now 13.6 size) on both-I wouldn't go any bigger than that, as the both 11's & 12's were about the best in putting all the torque to the ground that the H's were able to produce. Neighbor had a Super H that he put a set of 13-38's on that he took off his M when he went to 14's on it-our H (w/a 2 year old set of 12's) that had a gas head and oversized pistons in it could out pull his Super H in tough going. He'd have to go to 2nd pulling 2-16 plow & we could pull right through the same hard pan in 3rd. We were pulling a Case plow, he had an IH & Case plows pulled harder than IH's did. (He claimed his IH pulled harder until we switched plows & then he didn't argue any more.) Neither tractor had traction problems, his Super H simply wasn't geared right to use the bigger tires, we all felt. That Super H always looked like it was going down hill with those 13's on it. IMHO, I would go with the 12.4's. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
