Which tractor would you pick if their condition was about the same to use not sell if it was offered to you for free?

         I would go with the 175. I have a 190 and 180 and would get more use
  out of the 175. Also have a 7000.

Had a 190XT, have a 180 and 185. Had a D17, never had a 175. But my vote is definitely  a 185, more options and HP than a 180 great on fuel. Just all around useful for most jobs that I can think of. 180 and 185 are both loader tractors here. Good Luck!

190 if its a diesel otherwise a 185. The 190 sits up higher, has better visibility, more weight,more convenient controls,full platform and the heat from the transmission and rear end wont bother you.

Depends how they all run... but the 185 would be my first choice.   There is a 180 and 185 near me the owner of the 180 keeps telling Em I should buy the 185 but it isn't for sale right now.

180 or 185. I like the 301 and I don't care for the rear fuel tank on the 190.

What he said per datum! Never had a 180, but hold high regards for the 185. 190xt is an afterthought since moving on to a black belly 7000.

Had all but 190 at one time or another.  185 is about as bulletproof as I've seen.

175 if it's a diesel...economical, nimble for its size and it has the BIG STICK! I would probably even pay for it

Gary for our area, the 175D would be hard to beat.
Otherwise the 185.

If you're not going in & out of a low height clearance cattle barn for choring, the 190xt diesel. It's heavy enough for bigger jobs, but nimble enough for smaller jobs. Besides, I just love to listen to its turbo whistle... None of the others have turbos. If you do need a lower height clearance, pick any of the 185,180, or 175 that suits you.

He sais a 190. They do not have a turbo. A 190XT would have got different responses.
