What the Super H is used for
The Super H is well matched to light tillage, mowing, raking, cultivating, and general farm chores. Its relatively modest weight and power make it easier to handle than a Super M while still providing meaningful capacity for small-farm work.
It is best paired with implements sized for a 30-hp-class drawbar tractor. The open station, manual steering, and period braking require careful operation, particularly on slopes or while towing.
Why the Farmall Super H stands out
The Super H builds on the Farmall H concept with more power and a five-speed gear transmission. It was built at Rock Island, Illinois, and is appreciated for its classic row-crop proportions and uncomplicated mechanical layout.
Buying a used Farmall Super H
Verify that it is a true Super H by the serial plate, then check the engine for smoke and cooling issues, the clutch and gearbox for noisy or jumping gears, and the brakes and steering for wear. Test PTO and hydraulic functions if equipped, inspect the rear tires and wheel hardware, and confirm all figures with TractorData.com.
