I have NO brand loyalty, as you are about to see. Most of my choices are either tractors I have experience with, or have lusted after since I was a kid.

1. JD 830 pony start with the biggest Rice and Cane tires you can get. Reason: IMHO, it's the studliest tractor ever built anywhere, and the sound of two cylinders under a real load is a world-class symphony.

2. JD 420C or 430C with a three-point and a dozer blade. Probably the prettiest crawler ever built, with the possible exception of a 350C.

3. McCormick Super W6, 'cause my Dad had one, and I spent a LOT of seat time on it. Again, the prettiest IH ever built.

4. An early Oliver. Don't know enough about 'em to give a specific model, but it had the Green/Yellow/Red paint scheme, full sheet metal, styled. A 60 comes close, might be a 70 that I'm thinking of.

5. A late AC WC. Uncle had one, another pretty tractor, lots of great memorys associated with it.

6. (Okay, so I can't count...) A Super M. Another Uncle farmed over 1000 acres with a fleet of these, and I just can't imagine a "no limits" collection without one.
