For me, here, I've settled on the 7xxx series Fords. Certainly not the best all around for everyone on every farm but it fits my needs. For all intents and purposes I dont plow any more so I no longer have need for 6 cylinder engines. Turbo charged 4 cylinders take less fuel unless I need their fullout put of horsepower.
The designs are simple and straight forward. There is good parts support both through New Holland and after market. Parts cost is not overly expensive.
Right now I've got 4 of them, a pair of 7600's and a pair of 7610's. Also, over similar ancestry is a 5600 which I like for general farm use and the most recent addition a TB110 which I needed to add for the extra horsepower and cooling capacity for an 11.5 foot discbine.
Lots of others brands would have worked but I like having everything alike. It makes it worthwhile to inventory more parts. I really really liked the Case David Browns, especially the 1210's and 1410's. They were much easier on fuel but parts were about a third higher and, to me, it seemed everything on them was behind something else when I went to repair them.

In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
