Big difference in worst tractor when talking mechanical or operator comfort. Some we don't even have to set on to tell about poor operator comfort and then our boddies are different. Some think the WC, WD, WD45 are comfortable tractors to ride, others like me see without ever setting on one our boddies cannot take the operater position.If AC had designed them with the type of operator seat the UC had I think AC could have sold a lot more tractors because they were good mechanial but were not designed for a person that had to stretch into different positions while using them. I drove an AC CA and the seat position was too far back of clutch and too low. For me I would have had added a floor plate for feet, raised seat and moved it forward and raised steering wheel and moved forward. Good tractors if your body could stand the position. They should have hadded a 5 and possibly a 6th forward gear in transmission tho. The WC hand breaks you need 3 or 4 hands to properaly operate them. The Moline Z and U like I had needed the seat raised like the ZB & UB tractors so you did not strattle the PTO. I have seen conversion on Z to raise seat and controls but never saw that for a U. Silver King had seat hanging way to far back and you could just tell by looking that every bounce on rough ground the position of the seat would amplify the bounce a lot and would have been easy to fall off the tractor backward. Some liked the hand clutch like me and others could not get into the operation of it, to me in some conditions hand was better and other foot was better depending on what you were doing with the tractor. The John Deere the worst thing I found was the gear shift and throttle were to close to steering wheel and you would hit your hand every time on the wheel, this was the roe crop utility, the row crop that problem was remidide with a higher seat, platform for feet and a higher steering wheel. Operator comfort to people is different but what would be comfortable for me is what I would first take into consideration. Mechanical same make and model one can be good while the next one off line be bad. You cannot see that like you can see a seating position and to me that is first thing in deciding if a tractor is going to be good or bad. Most are complaining about the mechanicals and not saying anything about what they think of operator comfort. And that operator comfort will be different if you are 5' tall or 6.5' tall and a hundred pounds or 300 pounds. So lets rate good and bad with those thoughts in mine and not by if previous owne babied and took care of it or like my Uncle that could break an anvil with a rubber hammer.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
