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.

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.
