I was raised on a Farmall H, and thanks to some good friends, I still
have it. A 6 foot brush hog is a little big for an H if doing any
serious cutting with it, 5 foot is a much better size. A model 30 or 31
loader (trip bucket to fit H and M) normally sells for around 200 or
so. They are pretty heavy by themselves. Unless it has been stored
inside, there is a good possibility the cylinders will not be repairable.

This model is a pull type and it says the operating max PTO speed is 540---- which is (unless I'm mistaken) the speed of the H's . It's 6ft wide and the blade(s) are the type attached to an oval shape doo dad and they are not fixed, they swing/flail whatever. Pardon my lack of proper terminology ... ;-)

Old fellah next door said "Oh don't bother with one of those" I was kinda thinking for a couple hundred bucks to have a loader that is made for the H-- so that I could move some manure from point A to point B... didn't seem too bad? i uderstand you have to use a hand trip to dump the bucket. Frame and bucket(s) a big and a small) looked good--maybe needed to replace or machine the cylinders. price was $300
