Hello, I know the question has been asked many times as to the best tractor, but if narrowed down to say 3 or 4 how would the following stack up? The garden tractor would be used for snow blowing, tilling and maybe cutting grass which of the following three choices would be the best?

Allis Chalmers (Simplicty) B-10 or B-110
Bolens 1050, 1053, 1055
Case 180

All three will run the attachments I want maybe how easy to work on repair and reliable may be good categories to classify.

Thanks for your help,
Roon

I like the Case because of the big wheels, but a 180 is rare and usually expensive. I push snow with my 190 and love it. I have owned a Big Ten Allis, but prefer the hydraulic drive of the Case. Never owned Bolens but they are strong tractors. I would recommend going with the one you can find the attachments for. I know 180 attachments are more rare than the tractors. Good Luck. Jim

I own four Bolens tractors. All of them are older models and they have held up great over the years. They are extremely reliable. Even during the cold winters where all my neighbors have trouble getting their new MTD's going, I'm always out blowing and plowing snow with no problems. One Spring I was rototilling for one of my neighbors and there was a metal pipe about 2" in diameter buried within the ground. My tiller attachment snapped the pipe in half before I even knew what happened and it did absolutely no damage to my equipment. I also lug my John Deere "B" around the farm with my Bolens garden tractor since I'm in the process of restoring it. These tractors are durable, reliable, and I find them easy to work on. It is easy to switch attachments (takes 5 to 10 minutes max); somedays I may have four different attachments on and off of a tractor, but it's no problem. Parts can sometimes be an issue because you can't go out and buy parts as easily as say a John Deere, but I really haven't had to purchase many replacement parts, and the ones I've needed, I got off of eBay with no problem. This is my opinion on Bolens. I don't have experience with the other tractors you listed, but I'm sure they're great too.
