Farmall Super C Plowing. Antique farm tractor in operation on the farm. Vintage farm tractor in operation on the farm. #farmallfanatic #farmall #antiquetractors
Once you set your wheels and weight it proper, The Super C will really plow well. It did really good as it is. That's also why I say that a 300 will handle a 3 bottom plow.
I grew up on a dairy farm south of Rockfalls,illinois, we had a International gas 400, an M , & a Super C, which my dad bought new in 1954, all great tractors, we used that little SuperC for several things, like pulling in wagons of oats , hat, straw , big Rex chopper wagon full of haylage, & cornlage, i agree with you, these little Super C's are surprisingly powerful & bullet proof, you cant hurt um, that being said these tractors were built in the 50's is another thing that makes them very impressive, my dad is going to be 96 July 23, 2024, my brother took over the farm & farms 4500 acres but he still has that little Super C, you could go out there today and will start right up like always, when i was like 15 yrs old i painted that C with a paint brush using International Red & got all of the original stickers for it, that paint job actually turned out pretty good lol still looks good , you have a good video 👍
Taking into consideration that the rear wheel wasn't set correctly, and you mentioned that, I didn't really think it did all that bad. Sure sounded good pulling along. Thanks for another fun video.
That's awesome you were happy with the way it plowed because you seemed a little disappointed with the Cub when you used it . I have been hearing a lot of people starting to plant this week across the country . I was thinking I was going to be able to plow tomorrow but my wet area better dry a lot over night . I got until Friday for it to dry out because it's going to start raining Saturday . Thanks for sharing and have a great evening !
You don't need to beat yourself up for that show. Tractor did great with the depth and no weight. And you looked comfortable driving. Good job Red Power.
looks like a lot of drifting in a straight line, love it. Just subed. Pete from just a few acers gave you a shout out for the rattle can paint jobs at the auctions!
A Super C with a 2 point fast hitch is the next one on the list for me. It seems like the perfect 2nd tractor for what I'm doing. This video only makes me appreciate them more. 👍
Excellent video Gino :) remember my dad also brother used we plow feilds like butter on toast doing right Lol and remember one year on spring season was wet because rain more sunshine to dry up in 1993 we glad new back tires bought put on 1968 International 624 A 60 hp Desiel , 1978 724 B loader 72 hp Desiel because need Differential lock for back wheels we spinning wheels on mud like crazy also on plowing with 4 plows ! Even when had disking to yes both tractor got tossed around to plus with implements agree 👍 to that ! Was not fun for to and was worse year my dad plus myself seen plus my uncle was old 1950 Gas motor Cockshutt COOP 40 pull on draw a 6 plow board and old Farm Hand tires did job ! International had Good Year Dyna Torque 2 Angle tooth treads of 🔺️ for grip plus McCormick International B414 Loader tractor Desiel motor had Good Year Dyna Torque 2 same tread on back wheels to other 2 tractor and plus 1968 McCormick International 105C combine gas motor to ! Why International got new tires bead blew out them on rims plus lose air like crap plus tread worn down wouldn't and grip no way ! New tires did ! Gino you must remember Good Year talking about did have them ever and plus Farm Hand back year's ago! Only other year was wet in my farm days was 2009 was worse year's of stroms central in Ontario Canada from April when winter over with no way did and I helped friends of family farm we had 6 months of Winter then whole usual 4 only my way ! When had hurricane season we had torando her just as bad ! Was help get crops and got hit with baseball hail on face when put square bales straw bales up on wagons plus wear steal toes boots for grip not joking! Plus rake straw rows on 1945 Farmall H basic gas motor row crop with 4 beater slips and slide on corners too ! But challenging too plus mud ponds in feilds too!
I've said it before and I say it again. Don't ever underestimate the ability of the smaller Farmalls to get the job done. I've been pulling 2 14 inch plows behind my 140 for years and it will pull them all day long in 2nd gear in all but the hardest land. I remember once I was plowing in a field with another fellow on a Ford 2000 with 2 14s and I plowed circles around him literally surprising us both.
Dad got his new Cub in 1947 and he used to haul a McCormick 200 spreader behind it. He said he’d spread circles around the neighbors Massey Pony and Allis B. He said those other two were always hung up
@@FarmallFanatic the prices are starting to reflect that too. There’s a 58-64 non-runner near me with 3 attachments for $1500 which is cheap to me. Not fast hitch though
Nice work Gino lots of fun. I noticed that gauge on your tractor had paint on it. You can use carb cleaner sprayed on a rag and will wipe it clean . Have a great day
I sure miss the Super C I had. Gave it to my brother with a 2 disk turner , 2 point 2 disk turner. At first I used an Allis pull behind turner. It did okay, but the Farmall plow was awesome. Like I could never get over just how little fuel it burned while doing it's work. Now have a 140 Farmall. I love it , but it doesn't pull a turning plow nearly as well as the Super C. All my relatives uses M's and H's. They looked down on that Super C. But it was just big enough to do hard work, and nimble enough to work around the sawmill.
I take it you moved the wheel in to put the tire in furrow. Uncle used to put a single strand of wire in the axle groove and turn the wheel so the weight was on that skinny wire instead of on the axle and groove so you could push it in easier. He would do both wheels even though you didn't need to. Guess he didn't want to explain to the people. I did notice steering with the brakes. I found this at BF Goodrich in the late 70's they called it 'Tire Fill'. It was about 20 pounds a gallon and would semi harden to give you a ride like air but as long as the tire carcass stayed together it kept rolling no matter what poked a hole in the tire. It was for equipment in scrap yards. I put new skins on the front and if kept the front end down just enough. Northern Ohio we never saw front wheel weights until the compact tractors from Japan came out. Old timers said the tractors were nothing but cast iron. We only had calcium for tires. Now you have windshield washer fluid or beet juice.
Just brought a Super C and a bunch of implements with it, one of them the same plow as yours! I'm stoked, but I already have done my plowing, so will have to wait til the fall. Side note: Been playing around with the 2-point fast hitch, wow, I don't have to get off the tractor seat to hook and unhook implements, wonder why the fast hitch didn't become more popular, it's so dang slick.
Because International was too stupid to let John Deere have the patent or at least use the fast hitch.. it would be what we use today instead of the three point hitch
Nice! Sounds healthy under load. I had a C with the mounted 2 bottom, not the fast hitch model. I moved only one wheel in to match the furrow, and it pulled sideways something fierce. I moved the other wheel in and it plowed like a dream. Have you ever tried planting buckwheat for the deer? Plant in June, harvest in October. It’s a fun crop to watch grow. It also pulls out some of the phosphorus that is tied up in the soil. Then when the roots rot, it comes available through mineralization. Works like a charm and no weeds to worry about. I’ve harvested it and made pancakes.
@@FarmallFanatic they are tasty, but I think it’s an acquired taste. They do take a little longer to make than the premix boxes. That IH drill of yours would make a beautiful buckwheat field. If you need the seed, Ernst is up your way. If not, I have some if you want to ride down I-79.
The mounted plow sure makes the difference on the light weight Super C. The down draft "suck" of the plow equals traction. Put a trail plow behind it and the heavier H would prevail. Should be awesome once you get the wheels set correctly and a bit of weight on it. Plus the Super C should do better on fuel economy.
Super C sounded just great never sounded like it was short of power 🤔 I noticed that the front furrow landside was nearly as long as the back one 🙄 over here 🏴 the front landside is Just long enough to protect the main body of the plough 👍 Red Power 💥💪👍
you keep a chunk of railroad tie you drive the right tire up on and let the plow down and level it and lock the the levers in place. for the opening up the field then after the opening rounds you set the left tire on the block and level the plow and lock it in.. and a tricked out Super C will out work a 1940 H on distillate or K1
set your right rear wheel in all the way so both bottoms will take the same amount of land this is why you were pulling sideways. we plowed 8 inches the size of a RR tie.. when the fast hitch plow is set right the Super C will run circles arouns the original low compression H
That super C is doing an outstanding job on plowing with that two bottom plow but I'm if that tractor could pull a three bottom plow if you put wheel weights on the back and wheel weights on the front if it would pull a three bottom plow just asking I mean no more than three bottom plow and he could of modified the engine on that tractor what do you think I mean he put in a new clutch and if he put a new clutch in it then you know he did modified the engine alittle because the back tires doesn't look original on the back I thought those back tires were narrowed than those
I was really surprised at how well that super C handled that 2 14s plow! I was thinking the same thing! It looks like it was plowing at least as well as my H did when we plowed with it! I guess they are about the same HP, does a super C have a torque amplifier?
@@donvoll2580 thanks for answering my question, how about the one that replaced it, I think maybe a 230 or something like that, guess I'm more familiar with the larger ones, I had a 450 which I thought was great.
It really doesn't look like its that far off. Considering it was built as a next generation Super model, it very well could be better than an H. Not that I'd knock any H. I love Hs. There furrow wheel isn't that far off. The only thing I saw was it seemed to be pulling to the right. For whatever reason.
Your plow is way out of adjustment! First, your first moldboard is turning way more soil than the following moldboard. The plow should be plowing in even furrows equal amounts of soil being turned by each moldboard.. I also noted in your video that you are aggressively fighting a severe draught issue. Take it back to the shop for more adjustments.
@@FarmallFanatic I have been plowing for over 55 years. It may not be rocket science to you but a good job of plowing saves a lot of grief in the following years.

Slow and steady Super C. You got it!💥
You know it’s getting the job done right when you have to steer it with the breaks. 👍
Nice to see u working that C. The plough works well
Great to C the Super C put to work! It looked great! When you have that right tire adjusted, will be amazing

Thx FF, another gem💥keep crushin it 🇺🇸
Super C turning and burning! Thanks for sharing
She sure did a good job. Sounded a couple times like she wanted a lower gear, but maybe that was when you were spinning tires. Thanks for sharing!
No that's what I was testing to see how deep it would go.
Looks good
Big improvement over the little cub.. she sounded good , and looks like a plowing beast
Wish we had fast.hitch on one.of our c

Perfect tractor imo!
Like taking the prettiest girl in the school to prom baby🎉🎉🎉
Yeah it is
Between you and Just A Fee Acres. You guys make me want to actually redo my Super C that was supposedly restore when I bought and start using it more
Do you have a fast hitch?
Yes I do just need to find a plow and I’d like a disc for it also.
Great job

She did good! It's nice that is has the hydraulic leveling- that seems to make things easier and faster 🙂
For the year this thing come out guys must have been trippin' lol

Nice looking furrow😊
She did great bud
Turnin dirt is always fun!
I plow with my 54 super c does a great job love my fast hitch plow,Disks,planter and mower
Okay well i'm gonna need your planter l o l
I use my 53 super C for all that fun. Once you get it dialed in, you will be amazed how well it will do the job.
Awesome tractors
Impressive
Looks good maybe a touch light in the front.
Definitely time to get the wheel weights on
Got an m last week no idea if it's rebuilt I'm assuming so. What weight oil should I use?
Rotella T4 15w40
You get that rear wheel set right it will do great. I was doing good.
Looked like that red bronco is about to throw you off 😂
It tried l o l
you keep a chunk of railroad tie you drive the right tire up on and let the plow down and level it and lock the the levers in place. for the opening up the field then after the opening rounds you set the left tire on the block and level the plow and lock it in.. and a tricked out Super C will out work a 1940 H on distillate or K1
Which performs better, Fast-hitch plow or pull type plow?
Is it really depends on the exact application. I can tell you a pull type plow lays it over very nicely.
You were fighting with the steering the whole time along with braking, and adjusting hyd lever. Looked like a workout.
I'll adjust that right rear wheel and it will be a game changer
How does it feel without weights on it?
Not as good as it would with weight
Is there a system of weight transfer on that tractor like the Ferguson "Draft Control" and Allis Chalmers "Traction Booster" of the era?
Just a Hydro touch
Well you might have to put a can of octane boost in there it sounded like it was put in a pretty good load on the tractor
Yeah but it did it
Fiddy four, fiddy four Red Power 💪🏼❤️💥
Lol
What are you planning on planting this year?
Soybeans ..sweet corn.. You name it
Awesome. Love me some old Farmall action.
Do you have a B?
Not yet
@@FarmallFanatic Good answer.
I'm currently rebuilding the engine on mine.
think it may need the points tilted a little more down?
Yeah i'm gonna get it out more and play around with it
set your right rear wheel in all the way so both bottoms will take the same amount of land this is why you were pulling sideways. we plowed 8 inches the size of a RR tie.. when the fast hitch plow is set right the Super C will run circles arouns the original low compression H
I watched your video plowing with the super c looks like you could use some weights up front
There's a lot of stuff that needs done before I plow again
👍👍👍
Smoking the brakes like a trucker coming on down the other side 😮
Wolf Creek Pass?

@@FarmallFanatic thanks!
Pull your pins on the hitch so it floats and can wiggle back and fourth
Yeah I noticed that halfway through
I had to loud front tires with calcium plus wheel weights with the fast hitch disks
I use my other super to pull the discs
Adjust the tire and it'll stay in the Pharaoh perfectly but it did a really good job the way it was
Yeah it needs to come in like four inches
Slide that right wheel in will help a lot more than you know l plowed with a super c a lot makes big difference
I totally agree
Does anyone still youes a a tumble bug ploy ???

Gonna be honest it did pretty well lol
Yeah it did.
I'll take a C or super C any time over a H . I've had two H's and they just aren't as nice as a C unless you need the extra weight
