Well i haven't had alot of experience with any of those models but I would say either the farmall 966 or 986 or the Ford. hehe and I really like Olivers too but, parts availability is going ot get worse as the years go on for them as well as the Molines. I am in a Oliver 1800 now and there are some simple things that the dealers say are discontinued. Of course the 50 series is newer and might be better but it is not going have the support of either the Ford or IH in my opinion. The 1066 is a heck of a tractor, probably alot more power and fuel consumption that you will ever need. If these models are like most of the newer ones the Ford will give you better economy and still have enough power to do what you want without keeping it in a strain all the time. It will have good parts support if there is a dealer nearby as will the IH's. If you look at the Olivers the over/under shift is nice as long as it os in good working condition. If it is bad and you want it then it ia like the IH Ta, expensive to fix and just something else to go wrong. This last 1800 I bought doesn't have it and I am glad. Haha one less headache to repair:) I will agree with the man who suggested a AC 180-190. Good reliable tractors and usually reasonably priced with good parts availability as well. I Don't know alot about the MF's so I won't say

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
