My neighbor has an AC 185. He used it to plow a small hay field here a few years ago that had not been tilled in about 25 years and it did a good job in tough sod. He used a 4 bottom plow (don't know the size) and I watched him carry the front wheels in the tough clay spots. Caveat: I believe it was a 185. Neighbor is an AC guy and uses several vintage ACs including a couple of D-21s.
I'm not a real farmer and do no tillage but I do a lot of mowing. For my mowing projects, I own four Kubotas from 17 to 90 PTO HP. All, except the newest, which has a federale induced emissions issue, have been flawless.
I'm confident that my 90 PTO HP M9960 would mow circles around my neighbors 185 (and probably the D-21) and use less fuel doing so, but I would not want to put it in the same field with either with plows on the drawbar. As others have said, it's rather light and not well suited to tillage, but who tills these days with a 80-90 HP utility tractor.
FWIW: Though thoroughly converted to Kubota, I was raised an on a WC. When small, I thought that the first D-17 that I saw was the second coming.
