Tractor Tuesday | Farmall A vs Farmall Super C. Antique farm tractor in operation on the farm. Vintage farm tractor in operation on the farm. #farmallfanatic #antiquetractors #farmall
My favorite tractor is my "A" for general purpose light jobs at my home. It is fun to drive. It does whatever I need to do. My granddaughters love my "A". Last summer I put new brakes both sides. Simple repair compared to some. Made a big difference. Parts easy to find. Love watching these videos.
Awesome "A", awesome video! Still not a horsepower thing, but a traction thing. It always cracks me up to see 15, 18, or 22 hp lawn tractors for sale outside Lowe's or Home Depot. Those are nothing compared to the A's 15 hp. BOOM!
My grandfather had two big farmalls when I was younger, maybe a super-c and M , they weren't identical, one was slightly bigger and one seemed to squat in the back a little, he did a lot of haying with them and the two front tires were close together. He eventually upgraded to an international harvester 584 that I still have to this day and a john deer 4020 or something, the Deere was gas and the harvester was diesel and even though the Deere had more horsepower the harvester would out work and out pull it while using less fuel.
It's obvious the ground is slick on top which is why it's spinning. If it was solid, the A would pull the coop like it has in the past. I've spent almost 50 years using these offset Farmalls and started out with Grandpa's 55 Cub. Don't ever sell them short.
Weight really makes a difference in pulling that's for sure . You're going to have to break out the M and let big daddy pull it lol Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day !
A as in animal! Rugged,compact machine. I remember the video where you grabbed onto that coop shortly after you got the A and thinking “no way”, and it moved it without much trouble.(Or was it the Super C?).Either way,great machines.The A doesn’t seem as popular when it comes to snow plowing though.Nice to see part of the fleet catching some sun!
You're M would look better if you swapped sides on the rear wheels so that the dish would be turned out. Just my opinion! Nice collection there, I have my papaw's Super C and a 340 tricycle row crop I acquired last year. I've never seen another one in my area. It seems like a pretty stout tractor maybe between an H and M in pulling power. Does anyone out there know something they could share with me?
@@FarmallFanatic I didn't notice that and wasn't making fun, I just meant, think of the mind blowing advancement that having a locking differential would have been on any of the tractors of that Era. I wish my 8N and 2N had em.
Excellent video Gino :) myself got proof Red Power work excellent for pulling and towing! Back 1994 after got 1963 McCormick- International B414 Loader tractor Desiel motor rebuilt plus all fix up for my one Neighborhood neighbor farmer his 1968 Massey Ferguson 135 Desiel motor doing plowing and front pivot cone broke front! So got truck to home farm want towing back to machinery shed on farm and help towing with 3 point hitch also multi hole bar in back and big metal hook link plus tow pin with cooter key on arms on tow link clip ! Got tractor plus plow in machinery shed no problem! Farmer friend of my family said may ask what horsepower tractor b414 is told now 40 to 45 hp and I said what yours his was 55 hp 10 hp difference only Lol! If farmer was still alive tell Red Power does excellent too and get job to Lol Boom 💥!
If you were on thawed ground, both the A and the Super C would have moved it easily. The fact that you're spinning out like that in third gear speaks volumes about the traction. I'm not so sure it would be just hook on and go with the H either.
You need to shorten your chain up and use your fast hitch to lift up on your coop you could move it. If your A has been rebuilt probably not much difference in hp with Super C most people rebuilt them with overbore kit which makes same size engine as Super C. You are right A and Super A are great little horses.
U have a really nice A ! We have a chance to buy one from a neighbor! Do you remember what you gave for ur A ? Its a nice one too with good tires ! Been checking prices on them !
In Spring you should have a Red Power lineup! Smallest to biggest then by oldest to youngest! The A is a beefy looking tractor like a short guy on roids!
My neighbor had an A and you got it stuck and I hooked on the front of them with my 574 International and I actually ripped the tractor in half that's why every tractor I own no I make side rails between the engine and the transmission even my 574 International in May 8th manufab International do not have them you should think about doing that to your tractors average piece of Steel that goes from the front to the transmission just an idea for you because the engine and the tranny is all that hold them together
I've got a Super C and I pulled a 14 by 70 trailer house 12 miles with that thing and never struggled a bit so if you can't pull that little chicken house with your Super C then you ain't doing something right buddy
@@FarmallFanatic Actually I pulled it 1/4 mile to get it off the property. Since mine had the hydraulic drawbar I took advantage of the weight being on it
What is the drawbar height for each and the distance to hole from centerline of the rear tires? I have an A and a super C. Weights on the A none on the super C. The super C will pull more in my case from being balanced and the taller tires
Had many times had to do the zip bang effect pulling tree tops. Usually got the same effect till we got them to easier pulling. Need to say though not all of us green guys are liars...lol.
@Farmall Fanatic I knew you were talking about the guys with RU-vid channels but couldn't resist messing with you. Sorry if you felt you offended me or me offending you. I enjoy the way you pick on us green guys. Make me smile everytime. I grew up on the green ones but had the opportunity to drive a farmall super m. And an international 350 I believe (it was a small beast). Keep up the things you do.
John Deere people they are saying right now that a John Deere 40 can out pull that little A witch is Is BS they are already making there RU-vid video right now showing it's a failure
