Default Super M-TA

The Super M-TA is a great tractor! Well, except for the brakes. Starting out I followed my Dad across the field with the 1952 John deere B pulling a 2-16 trip plow. Dad of course was on the Super M-TA pulling an IH 3-16 hydraulic plow. I never liked the IH 3-16 plow. It didn't handle corn stalk trash well at all. Like the 13 yo cousins plow, the 3-16 would plug. Neither the John Deere 2-16 or the later IH 4-16 plow for the 706 ever seemed to plug. I cultivated a lot of acres of corn and soybeans with the Super M-TA and an IH 461 cultivator. Turning on plowed end rows was fun with no power steering and marginal brakes. The John Deere B brakes were light years better than the ones on the Super M-TA.
