The word “revolutionary” comes to mind! A tractor build for common men doing uncommon work anywhere in the United States! Your brother no doubt, is well pleased to see how much care you are giving to his old tractor. Another great video Tom!! Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing Tom. I absolutely love those old IH brochures. Here where I am, most farmers, primarily tobacco farmers had the off set Farmalls but no doubt the Super C was a small farmer's dream come true,
I think people mostly bought them for cotton, vegetables or livestock? I know that every brochure I have for the super c/200/230 shows livestock and tillage equipment and my Cub/A/100/130/140 all show a guy cultivating tobacco. A lot of those offset tractors sure did go to tobacco country. Fortunately, CT grew and still grows tobacco and you can find a lot of that stuff up here . I read Central American farmers were importing a bunch of those offset tractors from the US even now. It’s not unusual for a top condition 140 to fetch over $4000. I gave $4500 for mine with 7 attachments and all the original paperwork. Mine was shedded it’s whole life and it shows.
@@LedgemereHeritageFarm The 2-4 row Farmalls were more popular in eastern North Carolina where there were big tobacco and cotton farms with large fields. Here in the northwest Piedmont, Most tobacco farms were small with most farmers raising 4-8 acres of tobacco. While we had plenty of Cubs and Super As around, the 100 series (100,130 and 140s) were the tractors to have. One thing I would love to do is be in a big field of tobacco with a Super C, 200, 230 or 240 with a 2 row cultivator. That would be a dream!
i cant say i remember any Super C or C tractors around here in south west Ohio. But almost every farm had a H or M growing up. I have a little BN that i putt around on 1 or 2 times a year! lol If i was alive and tractor shopping in the 50s i think i would have looked serously at that quick attach Super C
@@LedgemereHeritageFarm The wife and I will add you to our prayers, Tom. They say time heals all wounds. I lost my Mother when I was 4 years old and I am now in my 60's and have a hard time getting past her death date each year...
