For work, I would have to pick the 175 diesel. Nimble, fuel efficient and the last of the "big stick" power directors. For what I do, I haven't found a tractor that can compete with it. For fun, I would take the D19 turbo diesel...can't beat that turbo whistle! For nostalgia it would be the WD45 diesel as that is what I put many hours on as a kid.

Tough call. I'm with those who say it's the one they are driving at the moment.
But I guess I really like a 190xt because they are hot rods right out of the box and my recent 200 even better because it's nicer to shift. The WC has a soft spot for me as well as the WD45 because of all the times I've heard from my Dad and uncles how they outperformed any others in their day. Neither of which I own a running example of.

Man, I like a lot of the AC models. I'd have to go along with my pal Bill Long though. Gotta' be the "B". My first Tractor, and just love what it can do for a small Tractor. Does the job that I need done around the property with the loader on it and doesn't take up a lot of room. Other models would be the IB, RC, and then my styled WF. Can't leave out the styled & unstyled WC's either. Sheesh, did I mention I like em' all!! LOL!  Steve@B&B

If there was one I've never driven but want to category, it would have to be a D21. I'd love to try one for a weekend, and see if I'd like to have it. I suuuuuurrre think I would.

I haven't driven them all, but of the ones I have I'd say the WD45 is my favorite. Only thing I don't like is I'm too tall. My right knee hits the hand clutch. Also, I don't like having to sit with my left leg extended and my right leg scrunched up. Other than that, it's great.
But...I'd probably have to say I like the CA just as much or better.
As far as doing "real" farming, an 8000 series FWA or 4W-305 sure seems nice!

I'd have to say my Daddy's old D10 for sentimental reasons. I grew up with that tractor, it was the first thing I ever drove. Plus Daddy was always so fond of it. It was his first new tractor, and his only one for a while. He done more with that little tractor than I do with five. I like them all, some of my other favorites are the Wd45 and D17. I wouldn't mind having one of each. I'm not really into the big tractors. I have nothing against them, I just don't have a use for one.

The Allis Chalmers C! It was the tractor that I started fitting ground in the field with when I was eight years old. The C was also the tractor that I took more trophy's home from pulling contests with. The C is the tractor that I mow the yards and horse lot lanes with.

Series 1 D17. Dad let me loose on it when I was 8 years old hauling liquid manure with 800 gallon Better Built tank spreader,then disking corn stalks prior to plowing with a 4/16 semi mount plow. Loved seeing the muffler glow orange about 11:30 at night pulling the plow!! We now have a 190XT as the BIG DOG which is a very fine piece of ORANGE. A D-19 left alot to be desired IMO though

I love your description of the one ninety XT. "Hot rod right out of the box." If that don't nail it, nothing does. Darrel

I rely heavily on my 170D. I have a 180D and a 190 gas too, but neither are as fuel efficient and as dependable as the 170. Second would be the 180D.

Yes, I especially came to that conclusion after driving a gutless 4020 in the field.

My favorite is my series IV D17 that was my dads, followed very close by my 8050 FWA power shift. #3 for sentimental reasons is my 7060, the first tractor I bought when I started farming.
