I’m looking to buy a small tractor for my market garden to belly mount cultivators. A friend has a Farmall cub and suggested I try finding one but the allis b keeps grabbing my attention instead. My question is, how is the visibility from the driver’s seat ? I know the Farmall is offset. Is the wide double seat on the allis better? Or at least comparable? Other option would be to find a g model but like the versatility of a b model better. Thanks, George

When I was young I cultivated a lot of corn with a B and it did a pretty decent job.Couple of negatives is as you said the visibility factor and 1st gear is too fast especially very small plants.A G is pretty good if it has the extra low gear.The Farmalls are very good because of the visibilty and there are a huge number of accessories available like side dressers,planters,etc.For cultivating I now use a Hines H-1600 which is the best tractor I have ever used to cultivate vegetable type crops,its very much like a G but much improved.It has hydrostatic drive,hydraulic lift with different controls for front and back.The implements go on and off quickly,very comforatable to get on and off,uses 24 inch rear tires.The Tuff Bilt tractors sold now are basically a clone of the Hines.

. Gs and Cubs tend to be expensive, Bs are cheap and plentiful. .

Go look at all 3 if you can. Everything about a G is spendy. But B's can be tough to get on and off of. As said lots of B's around and much cheaper. I think most G's have the creeper gear. Hey just a thought buy a couple. That's what most of us end up doing

Everything is impossible until someone does it! WD45-trip loader 1947 c w/woods belly mower, 1939 B, #3 sickle mower 1944 B, 2 1948 G's. Misc other equipment that my wife calls JUNK!

Thank you for the great info. The creeper gear on the g is an interesting topic.
I certainly wouldn’t mind owning one of each ! … ![]() |
