Farm Pro or any Chinese built tractor. REAL junk
The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend?

I'm not a fan of the off center seat on the AC's....I understand it had to do with Row Cropping but why did AC stay with it so long? No one else really ran anything with offset seating.

The only thing I hate is when I get grief about not buying a John Deere from people who never owned a tractor.

Oh yeah, and dead batteries.

Taking a tractor apart for maintenance to fix a problem and finding out afterwards that the problem I fixed was just part of the problem! Still love working on them though!

2. The hand clutch on the WD is exactly where my right knee needs to go.

There's an adjustment for that hand clutch if I remember right. A threaded rod at the bottom of the clutch handle. My WD would do it until I replaced the bushings and adjusted the linkage.

i really dont hate any tractor, i just dislike farmall. ive restored a wd-45, helped with a d-21, d-17 gas, d-14, cub cadets, a farmall f-14, farmall m, and this year a john deere unstyled b. I like the features on my wd-45 as its the best tractor that i have. when i was restoring the farmall m i just always wondered about the stupid ideas that they had. 3 different cam bearing sizes and just little things that pissed me off. I do like how fast they go and they are a comfortable riding tractor. I like every kind of tractor but my favorite is allis chalmers because they had the best ideas and a tractor that would always get the work done. I think that theres not any bad tractor out there, i like to learn about every brand and very wide open with them. every company had great ideas.
