[AT] 1937 Farmall F-12 with hydraulically lifted low.

[James Peck]

The January/February 2015 Issue of Antique Power has an article called "TEXAS SAND IN HIAWATHA". James Gall of Hiawatha Kansas was interviewed about his 1937 Farmall F-12. He has an F-12 he purchased from an auction with hydraulic lift. It is shown with a mounted plow. The mounted plow lift has wheels under the tractor that appear to perform the same function as 3 point hitch draft control. That is they regulate the depth of the plow into the ground. From the side the tractor appears to be similar to a three point hitch tractor.

Texas Sand steel wheels were retrofitted onto the rear as part of its restoration. Wide front was also retrofitted.

In 1937 Deere was manufacturing the JD A with hydraulic rockshaft to raise cultivators. I do not know if the Lindemann Oregon company was furnishing the aftermarket rock shaft lifted tool carriers yet to carry a plow.

In 1937 the Brown Ferguson Model A was being produced in Europe with hydraulic 3 point hitch for plowing.
