Let's do a turnaround on another thread that got a lot of response.
Of all the tractors you've owned/driven, which one did you dislike the most?
I'll start by saying an Oliver 70 my dad owned when I was growing up. It wasn't a bad running or handling tractor---if you could ever get the d****d thing started. We used it on a feed grinder, and anytime the temp was below freezing, it was routine to belt it up to a VAC Case to start it.
If you ever killed the engine in the field, you might as well find a shade tree for a half hour. If you tried to start it right away, you just ran the battery down.

My dad finally sold the Oliver to a salvage yard and bought a Massey 44. It took a week for me to get the grin off my face.
