If this was a test then I failed, only got 3 right. Oh well, I've always said when the crowd goes left I go right. Interesting results.

I would have failed too, Lonnie. Unfortunately, a poll like this will be skewed into what the masses have, for many reasons. The bulk of A-C's were manufactured during that period. Many great machines were built then, no doubt. I would also be fairly accurate in saying about only 2 % of the remaining allis tractor are green. The supply creates the availability. People are partial to what they have. Kinda like saying I prefer my hunting dog to my neighbors.  But for me, I'm happy to be in the minority on most of these categories listed.

I am in a Public Relations class right now for school, and the teacher told us about this survey site, so I thought I would give it a try. I am sure I could have put something together that was a little better, but I just wanted to test it out.

Thank you Austin for allowing us to be your 'guinea pigs'... as was said above, a lot of the answers are guided by what we each own...or personal opinion, ...but that is what a survey is all about. Course you are studying that in your class...................
