Mine is a 1953 Ford 900, It was given to me by my father-in -law, about 2 years before he passed. This tractor holds a special place in my heart. It's not just a tractor to me , it was his toy. Sorry no pictures. Mike
 
Mine is a 52 Massey Harris 30, been on the farm here since 1956. I have more hours in the seat of this tractor than all others put together, I guess it just fits me! Schwartz wide front, power steering, 12 volt, big tires, engine built up etc. Its the 1st one out the door almost every day. It runs on about a gallon of fuel an hour, I"ll have it till the day I die!
 
I like my Ford 1720, for a compact tractor, its a handy little tractor, 4wd with a fel. Those NH tractors sure are nice, bet the cabs are like the Hilton inside. JayinNY
 
Mark looks like your doing alright up on the hill. I showed you the TM190 and came up when we delivered it to go thru it with you. How do you like the new one.
 
First tractor I drove was my grandfather's Ford 2000. Its been gone for 30 years now. Wish we still had it.
 
I grew up on a 706 G and a Super M. The 706 has been gone about 10 years. Dad still has the Super M. Just got it repainted. FIL has an 8N and 9N. Figuring on repainting them in the near future.
 
That I own now or that I want? It's a toss up between my Oliver 77 and 1850 Diesel that I have now. Better than the new stuff.
If I ever retire to that little 40 acre patch in the Ozarks,I want a 550 Oliver to play around with.
 
As a field horse I like our 2-155 and 2-135 Whites. Have a lot of power and have been trouble free. We have two 2-105's for haying and three Same's and two Belarus's for everything in between. At my place, where I keep the heifer's, I have a Super M on feed grinder/mixer and a Massey Harris 30 on the manure spreader. Them two are about bullet proof.
 
that would make a real nice pic side by side with my 8000 with my son pulling the 8000. the rest of you guys sound like you got some pretty nice tractors to. like to see them in action.
 
My 1944 JD B, always starts good even in cold weather. I use it all winter hauling wood, on the drill in the spring, and for most other jobs around here. Just a good size to be really handy. The picture was taken in 2008 before going across the Mackinaw bridge on the 1st annual crossing. It is still in it's work clothes.

I've run the nice modern cab tractors and it just doesn't feel as good at the end of the day as when running my old tractors and smelling the diesel smoke and fresh plowed earth or cut hay. My favorite "feel good" tractor....1962 Allis D19TD. First turboed diesel farm tractor.

For making money, this lineup of Allis 170/175 tractors with Perkins diesel power and economy...

My favorite would be my 1955 Oliver Super 55 diesel. It is now mostly play time on this tractor. You can see it playing on you tube @ Oliver 55 pulling 2010. My Dad bought this tractor new when I was 9 years old. I spent a lot of hours on it way back then. Dad is gone now but I can still enjoy the tractor.
