[AT] What is your favorite tractor to plow with?

[Dean VP]

My Favorite plowing tractor is my 1958 JD 620 High Clearance. I have a three
Pointed mounted 3 x 14" JD plow for it and have plowed a few times with it.
Under normal soil conditions it really doesn't work very hard but when the
going gets tough, the tough gets going!  :-). 

I really like to hear the 620 bark but equally important is I like to feel
the 3 point Load and depth control go to work too as the tractor didn't
originally have this from the factory. I added all the three point stuff to
the 620 which was a big task. Love to see that it works the way God
intended. I've plowed in our really wet conditions and the three point/plow
combination just sucks down on the rear wheels offering the additional
traction needed. That was really rewarding after all the hard work. 

Haven't had a chance to plow with it at night but if it lit up the muffler
like our JD 70 did in the mid to late 50's I would be a teenager all over
again! :-)

    My favorite plowing tractor is my 1959 Case 700 diesel.
Have owned it for 32 years.
    I pull either 3x16" or 4x14" plows.
    Especially like plowing at night and watching the orange
flame from the exhaust when it is on a hard pull.
    This tractor will plow more acres of ground per gallon of
fuel than any other tractor I have used.

Mine is a 344 Leyland.  I love the sound of that old diesel
running.  That is what I was raised on.  Ricky
