I was thinking more along these type of lines

A lot farther along those lines:

I guess my all time best looking tractor would be the JD 2020. Google picture

Or the Massey 135. Tough choice. Also google picture

I'm partial to the old eyebrow case's (530 ect.) but I think the old Graham-Bradley's had a lot of style and class.

How about a Field Marshall?

Or a Ford Gold?

(Can't figure out what the second stack is for though.)

If you compare the specs on Tractordata,, the JD 2020,, and my IH584 were built as identical competitors,,

There had to be some espionage going on for the two tractors to be so identical,,

JD did not offer 4WD back then, as far as I know,,

As far as sexy,, my vote has always been for my Gravely,, it is right up there,, IMHO,,,

My vote would be for the Ford 9N with the runner-up being the Caterpillar 60 bulldozer. I say this more in terms of being tractors that are highly recognizable, and photographed.

I really think the Ford 9N gets the prize though, only because it was so popular in the 1950's, that they made a second Boomer Version of it 50 years later. While it is not my intent in this post to argue for or against the merits of the latter tractor (it was a different era of tractor making), how many tractor models do you know of, that have been resurrected after 50 years? It does say a lot about nostalgia...

Now do not get me wrong, because I love my Kubota and its capabilities, but in terms of sex appeal, personally...and this is just my opinion...I would rather see a pretty woman, in an abbreviated dress beside the old Ford 9N then I would my Kubota or other modern tractor. And I think the fact that I would love to see that combination, and have seen a few women who did model beside an old 9N, and personally feel the photos looked nice; that I am able to make a strong point regarding the Ford 9N.

It is all in the eye of the beholder. If a tractor needs eye candy leaning on it to make it sexy, it might not be the tractor that is the point of interest.

That is true, but at the same time, one can enhance the other.

Myself, I like contrast.

I change my desktop picture every few weeks, but most of the time they are of old tractors that are rusted away and sitting. To me, I just like that nostalgic, retired look, and do not like photos of fully restored tractors, but that is just me.
