The 44 is a fairly large tractor. What do you use it for?
Yes, it is. 6 cyl. Perkins - but its HP is around 40hp.
I use it for hobby things. 20 years ago, I had used it much. Not using much now. By the way, I made a mistake above- and you too missed it. 744 can't be 1958 as it was no more in production after 1954. Mine 744D was probably made in 1953. - As its rated power is small like a CUT, can we call such big (6cyl), but small hp tractors too as CUT?

I do seem to recall that 6 cyl models here in the US were labeled 44-6, at least for the gas engine.(Continental if I recall correctly) So yours must be a diesel. Is it a standard or row-crop version? Unless it's a show/parade tractor what hobby uses do you use it? I don't remember seeing very many, especially early models, with 3pnt systems or aux hyd. Really limits their usefulness as far as newer implements are concerned.
</font><font color="blue" class="small">( As its rated power is small like a CUT, can we call such big (6cyl), but small hp tractors too as CUT? )</font> I would have to vote no. 1) C stands for compact and none of the versions of the 44 that I have seen are anything close to compact. 2) IIRC they weren't even considered a Utility tractor for that matter. MH didn't really have a utility offering until they started rebaging some of the MF line. After all the MH's, and other brands', size was one of the selling points for the Ford and Ferguson tractor lines. The Pony was really the only MH model that I can recall being a utility model before the MF versions. 3) HP really doesn't have a lot to do with being a CUT or UT. Afterall, my 801 (53 hp) would normally be considered a UT. I would say it's probably a little too big to be considered a CUT.
