Whew, just got done mowing 20 acres with a Super C I just bought and a MD 25V mower. Pretty impressed with the C.
My Father in law's ol 1950 Deere B gave up the ghost right when I needed it, so I thought I'd better get another one while it was in the shop. Up to this point I've been a Deere only owner (the big tractor is a Deere too...), but I gotta say with two days in the saddle, this Farmall is not a bad machine.
I bought the Super C on Friday and put it to work right away(Well almost right away, who knew the cutoff switch on a 50 y/o tractor acutally worked. I found that little bit on info out after a battery and a half...). I had eight hours of hay cutting on it by Saturday evening. I gotta tell you, the darn thing worked like a charm. I was really impressed with how easy it steered and how the pan seat felt. I've heard horror stories about those seats, but after getting bounced around in a hard mounted Deere B seat for years, this thing was darn cushy.
It had fresh paint on it, so I think the thing thought that after 55 years it was moving off to a life of leisure....Fraid Not!! It's going to have plenty of chores to do on this raggely ol farm.
