After seeing the UDLX in person I can understand why they were so unpopular. I don't think many folks wanted a tractor they could use as a car, so the Minnie-Mo people had come up with a solution to a problem that didn't exist. And getting into the driver's seat looks to be something of a chore. Climbing aboard my open station Massey would be easy by comparison. Long hood and low stance makes for poor forward visibility from what I can tell, and the pedals are crammed together so the gas pedal is in the middle, down below the other two. Great exterior styling, but who wants to bounce around the fields and farmyard in a shiny thing with lots of sheetmetal that'll get banged up and dented the first time you hook onto something? For what a UDLX cost, someone who watched their nickels and dimes back in the day could buy a decent tractor for work and a couple used pickups or sedans for going into town.
Looks like they're finally coming into their own, and people actually want them--and this has been the trend for some time as you pointed out. I understand the novelty and the rarity of these things, not one of my favorite vintage machines, however. I like something that looks a little more tractor-like.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
