Worst ride- 786. But that was because of the tires we put on for cheap- busted belts in them. It walked down the road and ate tubes.
Worst shifting- toss-up between the 806 and 4020 and Oliver 77. The straight-through H-L-R on the 806 was nowhere near as handy as the H pattern on the 56-up. The 4020 you have to go through a forward gear to get to reverse, though hi R and 5 are good for moving round bales around the yard. Grandpa had one on order til he visited another JD dealer for parts for a short line they carried. Test drove the 756 used and took it home that day, cancelled the order for the 4020. The Ollie, well, whoever came up with that double-H pattern shoulda been shot.
Most inconvenient- International Prostar. For the amount of time and money they say they put into that truck, it sure was a turd. The sun would reflect off the lip on the back edge of the hood and blind you from behind the truck. The steering wheel mounted controls sound nice, til you are halfway through a turn and need to shut of the engine brake. The window and lock switches are way up at the front edge of the door, at least on the 9200 and 9400's you could swap them around to have your left hand fall on the driver's window switch.
Worst cab- Allis 7580. Great tractor, it would plow through mud so deep that you couldn't lift the plow out, but I had to lower the wheel, stand over it, and squeeze through between it and the door frame. The 66 series IHC cabs were better than that thing. Bought it off a claustrophobic neighbor.
Worst traction- D19. Couldn't pull a wet noodle through the yard after a half inch of rain, and the tires were loaded. I got it stuck once, got the SM and pulled it out without restarting it. Did have pretty good hydraulic power and PTO though, it would really sling it out there pulling the slurry spreader.
