What's your favorite tractor? Vote and describe your "loved one(s)". If the list is missing the tractor you like the most, post it here - i'll add it to the list later.

My favorite tractor would be New Holland at the moment. Although my two darlings are Fiat 110/90 -88 and New Holland M135 -98. 110-Fiat is the toughest tractor ever built. The fact, that it's been built exactly the same for 15 years must tell something... I like the M135 just for the looks, power and highly developed technology.

Hey New Holland recently bought out the J.I. Case factory here where I live so now they are making some CNH tractors and other equipment here too. Not that I ever have used them but I liked Allis Chalmers tractors. I prefer construction equipment, most notably the 990 series end loader.

Are you guys going to vote for anything?? :?

And yes, I know New Holland bought Case. Actually Fiat united with Ford and formed New Holland. And Ford bought International, so... :D

JUST VOTE!

Case.

My best tractor story involves me, a heavy duty chain, a VW beetle with siezed up axles and a big beastly case tractor. Chain through the one window of the VW, out the other, tied to the back of the tractor. I then dragged it to get scrapped. It's hard to see just how fun that sort of experience can be until you've done it yourself.

Oh and there was a girl at my high school whose nickname was Tractor, because she was built like a tractor and had all the subtlety of one.

John Deere definitely... :mrgreen: I love that tractor... ;) My best tractor memory involves my father's John Deere, me, my girlfriend and a quiet, undisturbed place with a nice view... :mrgreen: :P

Nah, only j/k... I don't have a gf... :( As a matter of fact I don't have any good tractor memories either... :|

John Deere, because they developed and patented a way to bend steel tubing without putting a crease in it.

Hello New Jersey

Hm... Many of you dudes seem to like the yellow ones... Well, just vote for McGormick / International and you're getting close :?

And St. -> Did you know that New Holland was the first to build a tractor with a rear axle which doesn't need oil as a lubricant? It only has two greasevalves and definately won't leak oil when the it's shaking....

A Finnish colleague of mine whose Dad used to import John Deere tractors into Finnland......he thought you'd get it if you're from a farming background.

He said is was something rude about Massey Fergusson tractors and older country people who all wear the same hat....I think...

That means quite the same as this:

"Thrust your MF up your ass and get off from that pile of shit you're in. Go to the town and practice some professionschool gestures. Or has the Hankkija* - cap been glued too deep?"

*) Hankkija is (or was? can't remember...) one of the largest agri-machine importers in Finland. They have these caps, with the nice Hankkija-logo :D I think even I have one :wink:

He said you'd probably have one if you were a country boy! He also said something about the Finnish word for accordion being slang for asshole.....I think.

Zetor. Zetor 4evar. The company is almost dead now, but they used to make the l337est tractors this side of the Berlin Wall.

(Their website sucks, though. http://www.zetor.cz/ )
