I kind of agree. My dad had several Farmalls and so did most of the neighbors. The dealer was a big factor. In those days, dealerships were all over the place.
As a kid, I cultivated many rows of corn with an H. I didn't much care about ergonomics then, but I do now. I liked the way you shoved the throttle handle toward full speed and waited for the engine to answer. Then, at the end of the row, give it a little whack and it would pop back to idle instantly. I seem to remember that the hydraulics worked nice enough, but one side lifted before the other. What I don't like today is the whine of the radiator fan. Sounds like the tractor is trying to take off down the runway. Makes me nervous. I've had several Allis tractors. I guess the WD is about as solid as they get. But I've never used them for putzing around. I've got two of them now. The B, C, and CA have terrible ergonomics. In my old age, I don't want to break a leg getting on or off. In hill country, being able to depend on the brakes is important. My brother was an Allis mechanic in the 60's and the one that he bought for himself was a D17.

I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
