I am going to address only best utility. 1930's has to be the Ford 9N that came out in later 39 and was only utility tractor made untill the 2N and it lasted as only one till in 46 Ferguson brought out the TE-20 and in 48 Ferguson brought out the TO-20 at same tine Ford brought out the 8N. Ferguson brought out the TO-30 in 51 and Ford wated till 53 to bring out the NAA and Ferguson brought out the TO-35 in 54 and it lasted untill 1960 and Ford brought out the 600 & 800 series in 55. Only asked about the 30's, 40's & 50's so going to stop with that. IHC brought out the International 300 in 55 - 56 but it was twice the size as the Ford 9,2 & 8N and Ferguson TE & TO 20 so at that time it could hardly be called a utility, The closest IHC had to a utility was the International 240 brought out in 58 and lasting into the 60's. Olivers first was the S55 brought out in 54 so I think that was first actuall choise for utility other than Ford or Ferguson. Deere brought out the 40 in 53 but I dont think they had a utility untill the 420 in 56. Not much choice throught this time. Now MM also brought out the 335 in 56 With Case comming along in 58 with the 200 and Cockshutt in 58 with the 240. I don't know if the AC D-10 or D-12 could have been called a utility or not, the D-14 was a row crop with a wide front, don't know if AC ever put a narrow front on the D-12 and sure they did not on the D-10 but they were still as tall as the D-14 that was a row crop so not a utility. Going with Tractor Data I cannot find any others made in those 3 decades. So for the best utility tractor in that time frame to start it has to be the 9N Ford as it was only choice weith same tractor later being called the 2N untill Ferguson came along in 46 with the TE-20 And it being Ford or Ferguson untill Oliver came out with the S55 in 54 with a couple of others finally building a utility starting in 55-56 to 58. Not a lot of choise there.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
