The Allis WC made the first volume of Successful Farming's Greatest Tractor of All Time list along with five other tractors. A great article on some history of the WC!

Their brackets don't make sense to me...and who could decide on what merit?

I do like seeing the D19 in the final 4 though.

Well AC did not make it to the end. These guys must have a problem picking because these brackets have been undecided for a year.

I am still scratching my head on how Dave Mowitz picked and matched these tractors up ?

That makes zero sense at all, I figured you would want to have the 4 quadrants dedicated to a tractor type whether that be comparable in weight or horsepower. O just dont understand the logic behind the pairings

What they have done is interesting, but I agree it makes no sense. I actually own a Farmall Regular, but how could that beat out an Oliver 70 for useability on a farm???

I makes perfect sense. The final four were the four main colors. The final were the two main colors. It's not about the model, it's about the color IMHO. Green and red.

Come on guys. Don't you already know that Successful Farming requires spreading some BS every now and then.

Why was the WC beaten by a 9N? This is crazy. And the U went against a Farmall H??

Just encase you guys have not figured this out SF needs advertising $$$$$$$ why do you think they continually kiss JD a##, Who else gets a 2 3 page artical about the "new" Deere models. Anything in SF FJ or any other of those ag mags can be taken with a grain of salt its politics as usual
