"Im an ih guy so i'd have to say 1206-1256 were some of the toughest tractors catergorized in the "muscle tractor" era. But for a dowright tough workhorse i dont think anyone would argue an 806-856 was probably one of the most hard…"

"my favorite old muscle tractor is the 555 versatile,I have one and use it for everything from pulling a liquid manure tanker,plowing,pulling the forage harvester and on the grain buggy. I feel it was very well named,because it works well at any job…"

"I know it's not your traditional 'muscle' tractor, but I've got nothing but the utmost respect for the Steiger 4wd's and the CaseIH STX QuadTrack tractors. Sheer, raw power."

"This is a hard question !! I have pulled with a IH 666, JD 4020, and hopefully my friends JD 6030. The IH 666 is a great all around tractor of a farm doing small jobs. It pulls good too and you can do some mod's to it and get some real power…"

Matt Folsom replied to James S Davis's discussion What's your favorite muscle tractor?
"I would go a little older and say a good running JD G or R. There is nothing like hooking a plow to one of these and letting the old 2 cylinder pop. But I would have to agree with the 7520. Or a 5020 put a straight pipe on it and take it out and…"

Jared replied to James S Davis's discussion What's your favorite muscle tractor?
"You can't beat a 7520, Not too hard to work on, plenty of power, enough rubber on the ground for good traction without needing fluid in the tires and once you get used to the articulating steering it is a blast to do field work with. It's…"

"I've grown up around 4wd articulated machines my whole life, learned to drive on a Deere 8650. Bot for that era, I would go with the John Deere 8010. One of the top 5 most revolutionary tractors ever built in my opinion. Plus you gotta love the…"

"Since you all are on the topic of "muscle tractors" and like them so much, I want to recommend a magazine to you. It's called Heritage Iron. It features muscle tractors from the 1960-1985. It features all brands. It's not a brand…"

"I like older equipment, thats all I got. I like the older tractors because they had weight to go with the horsepower, luggin horsepower. I have always liked and wanted a 6030 JD, almost bought one but bought a 4640 instead."

"My husband would say IH 1468. IT is a V-8 tractor that can run on less cylinders if needed. We have one that has been fixed up. He loves it...it moves down the road.."

I'm 31 years old. For the last 10 years or so, I've tried a few different paths, but what I went to school for, and what I love, is agriculture.



I've worked on quite a few different farms over the years, including an internship on a beef operation and a dairy farm in Australia. I love animals, crops, and equipment.

Hi James,

Welcome to the group! How did you end up all the way down in Australia? I have some friends that run/own some pretty big operations down there. If you are looking for ag work check out, http://agjobnetwork.ning.com. They seem like a help bunch.

Actually you are looking at the fall foliage up in Maine where I grew up, but we live in South Carolina now. I am looking for a career in agriculture and haven't been very successful so far.

Hello, James. Welcome to our network here. Glad to have you on board!

That looks like some pretty country in the background of your profile pic. Is that right around your area? What type of farm do you operate there?
