I know these type posts can be real tough to answer. Experience varies widely, brand loyalty factors in, etc. Nonetheless, with all the experience here I'm curious on what you all think.
I have used a Ford 8N and at 6'4" it's a wonder I'm not in traction. Room is important. I have a 1960 Ford 641. It is roomier than the 8N but turning to look back at an implement is a chore since my legs are too long to swing past the dash.

4. Good parts availability.
5. Used mostly to run a four of five-foot rotary mower to cut about fifteen acres, and to box blade less than a mile of dirt roads.
