[DerickS]

OC-3 Oliver I think

 

[soundguy]

Guys for strictly smaller use and carrying to an occasional show my personal picks would be the D2 or D4 Cat or a TD-9 McCormick There are a lot of other great picks out there; i am just more comforatable with the Cats. Sure i would love to Own a D8 and 9 Cable Cats as well as A TD24; they just arent practicle at this point. For some reason for a gasser the Cats Twenty Two and Thirty have been a long interest.

i'll take whatever I can find.

I never see one for sale down here..

To my understanding the best locations are in the north and northwest; i have diligently trying to find the info on 3 or 4 yards out in the Texas panhandle as yet with no success. Just in case You may be interested http://www.tractorhouse.com also has heavy equipmet listings. There may be a possibility of finding a crawler within reasonable distance that will work for You. I would love to be able to scrounge out about ten days to do some looking; figure i would come home with what i have been looking for.

i try to keep an eye out when I can.

I have been known to drive a state or 3 or 4 to get a tractor..

I was at a show a few years ago and saw a little cat 10 that took my eye pretty good.

 

[ianoz]

Bit hard to choose .I like our Fowler VF .

 

[missouri massey man]

I agree with ianoz, it would be difficult to decide IF a fellow could only have ONE....personally I'd take a mid-30's Cletrac (I know the style but not the model), and like Gordon a little Cat would work wonders and I even like my little Massey Ferguson 2244 with Drott loader and 3 cylinder Perkins quite a lot. At least there's no flat tires to deal with...

 

[soundguy]

now that is nice!

 

[to many irons]

most anything that moves , got a poor old TD9 that wants some work .
