Im just wonder what are your guys' best tractor or lawnmower that you owned or even still own?


My first and favorite lawnmower is a Simplicity 3410. I am only 14 and hopefully still own alot more favorite tractors.

My Allis Chalmers 616 is my favorite garden tractor.

My brand new JD 3005. But I have craftsman mower with 1200 hours and still runs. Not really a tractor but it's been reliable.

1985 JD 650, small tractor but built like a full size - tough little rascal.

Hands down, my 1951 Ford 8n. It had 1200 hours on it when I got it about 20 years ago from the widow of the original owner. It still wears most of its factory paint and has not slept outdoors too often. It is pushing 2000 hours now, and I use it once a week or so for hauling firewood, from fall until spring. I am always amazed at how easy that old flat-head starts in the middle of winter on 6 volts. From May 15 - July 4 or so, I use it on my 2-row JD corn planter. There still aint a modern machine that would do those tasks any better. In my opinion, that tractor represents the high-water mark for the Ford tractor co. From the time they introduced the NAA in 1953, they continually lost ground to the competition before finally going belly-up in the 1990's. My almost-new JD 4120 is a fine machine also, the 4wd and loader are great, but it dont hold a candle to that old 8n when it comes to hauling firewood or planting corn. Its tough to beat my 1952 Farmall cub for cultivating corn, and my 1942 Allis Chalmers C trike is great in the woods for hauling logs.

For me I would have to say my Deere 317 has been my best one so far. My second best by far is the Yanmar 169D I had and coming in third is the John Deere L118. :)
