I'm not experienced with a 1650 or any Oliver really so not qualified to speak there, but I know they have an excellent reputation. As far as the others go...I guess it would depend on what the bulk of the work I was going to be doing with it was: lot's of field work or chore type work. Certainly the 5000 and the D19 are capable of the field work, but need to be weighted up pretty good to compete with the others from a traction and hold back stand point, but are the most handy for chore type work. Lot's of field work in larger fields, and assuming the 560 has the updated rearend, I would have to rate the 560 and the 730 Deere as capable and I love 'em both, but both are essentially updated technology from the '30s and '40s while the Case 730 (and I imagine the 1650) are more modern and comfortable and would be better compared with a 3020 and a newer IH. So I guess my answer from a working standpoint would be the 730 Case or the 5000 Ford. Since I don't have to work 'em any more, and just like to play at working with them, if I had my pick of only one I'd take the JD 730 1st and the Case 730 2nd, but I'd like to have 'em all to make comparisons over the next several years! LOL I know this...when it's time to replace the clutch, the JD wins hands down!

Following World War II many farm boys returned home both older and wiser. One such man was my employer the summer I was sixteen. He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
