I have read all the posts so far, and a lot of you guys have good points. I am a full out IH guy myself, but there are things that I don't like about IH's. I have an M, 560, WC Allis, and an 88 Oliver. I pull all of them at tractor pulls, and the way I would put them in place for best pulling would be WC {for the 3500 lb class}, the 88 {love that sound of a hard workin 6 cylinder Oliver}, the 560 {10,000lb class, and I love the feeling of raw power in the hardest class}, and then the M, in my opinion. The M is my least favorite because of the steering. Going down the road, it is so wobbly, but that is due to thousands of miles on it probably. I like the 88 the most because it is so quite, and powerful due to the oversize kit. But, for little jobs, I turn towards the WC where new tires are needed. The 560 is the best for power around my house, but I have to pull it to start it until I get a really powerful battery, lol. John Deere's had a few good tractors, but them not having a torque, or for god's sake, somewhat of a smooth running engine. I don't like how they have there tranny's set up with the 1.5 first gear. They would be an excellent tractor for a deadweight though. I will most likely stick to my AC's, IH's, and my Oli's.
