4W-305. 
To me, it still has modern styling. If you look at other big 4WD tractors of the same era, to me, they just look outdated.

The answers will probably include all models but will be interesting...I am with the D series but that is mostly what we grew up with

Like Shameless said, personal opinion, no right or wrong answer. For me, unstyled WC or WF and starting with the D series, 100, 200, 7000 they just get worse as they get newer.

There never has been anything that is a better looking tractor for me than a D21. Nearly anything else looks kinda like something else.
If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.

If you compare to each models era's the D14 thru D17 were so modern for us back then.  Personal fav has to be 190(xt)/200.
8000 series kicks butt for any brand back in the '80's.

The styled tractors starting with the WC ,B,C,WD,CA.and WD45. They were stled just to look good and carried through the series. They have a clean aerodynamic look that sets them apart from other contempary tractors. The Narrow front C is in my opinion the best looking tractor made by any manufactors. It has a smooth flowing line with a very narrow center that just plain looks good from any angle.
