Its almost difficult to single one out from any manufacturer, if you appreciate many era's of tractors. I've always had a liking for hundred series fords, I like the color schematics of their entire line and models, like the big poster dealers had on the wall. We were a dealer, I did like the thousand series too, certain years, like early to mid 70's.
Then again, MM, JD, IH, Oliver, Fordson, M-F, Case and others all had several models that have the same appeal. MH and Cockshutt and Olivers from those early years were not too bad on the eyes, though many of them are NF and not a favorite.
There are some more modern ones, that I did not like the styling of, some of the Case models that were white, something about all those sharp angles, its funny, someone else may like that style and the overall look of it. I thought the 6000 ford commander was a real odd looking creature too, liked the color scheme a little though. First one I ever saw was in our shop for work, and even then (early 70's) it looked so much older than the thousand series on the lot. Not the best rep, but good to see some still around.
I liked JD new generation tractors, after the 2 cyl.were phased out.
I'm also a fan of the 30's and 40's caterpillar tractors.
For the most part, currently, I have an appreciation for the heavier utility and industrial models, most of them look the part and do important work, someday be nice to fool with one for show, but a well kept working model of many of the above would be more than welcome here, they all kind of grow on you, even though they represent work, nice to appreciate ones tools even when idle !
