Farmall M and John Deere A out doing a little friendly competition. The Deere literally drove circles around the Farmall. However, that is purely due to the fact that the IH has a slower top field gear. Neither machine was able to pull the snow in top gear (6 on the Deere and 5 on the IH). The Deere in 5 is faster than the IH in 4, which is all it proved. However, I do believe the A has a better gear range. The IH gears have little change between 1-4.
Had they each had a load or been drawbar to drawbar, the IH would probably win as it has a ballast in the tires and the Deere does not.

Restored JD '47 A working over a pasture. The harrow is to help clean out manure patties so the grass can grow.

I took a ride to one of the hills on our dry farm. It was a very beautiful Christmas Eve day, with a small amount of snow (compared to normal).

In this video I take the 1949 John Deere WB AF (All-Fuel) over to a field on the dry farm (non-irrigated land) and back. The tractor does get a load applied to the engine while climbing the hills.
Sorry about the transmission whine--I've tried various oils and such to try to reduce it, but as far as I can tell from reading online, it's common with these old tractors and if they do it then there's not much you can do about it.
The BW All-Fuel for the late styled Model B tractor is somewhat rare. According to Mr. Thinker's Almanac, only 814 Late Styled BW All-Fuel models were produced.

Winter came early this year... This morning was a very beautiful cold (~5ºF) morning. I took the DJI Phantom drone out to capture some videos and photos. View is from 200 feet. Freedom (the name of the town) is a very nice and (usually) peaceful little community.

This video is about G Plowing Snow over the Dry Farm. If you've ever wondered what it's like to sit on a G for a half hour while plowing snow across a field in the winter, well, this is probably about as close as I can get you--without doing the real thing, of course.

This is a video I took today of me feeding the beef cattle with the John Deere 4020. It's been unusually warm this year, and with the large amount of rain we've received it has created a huge amount of mud.
