I’ll keep dreaming of the autonomous machines that have been “right around the corner” for years.
Case7120. Reliable, efficient and affordable.

7120 Magnums…classic. Here’s pic of the highest auction price 7120 ever, a 1990 model with 1,570 hours sold for $69,000 on a 9/11/15 farm auction in Pinconning, MI, sold by my friends at Sykora Auction Service:

JD 730 Diesel row crop. Always thought they were a well built tractor, with plenty of power for the time. Never had the pleasure of using one, but enjoy watching them at the local tractor pulls.

Mine would be aa IH 3588 2+2. I think they really neat. I worked at a dealership and got to demo them for customers. The more you drove them , the easier to maneuver

A John Deere 7410 with a left hand reverser and 740 loader. I think that era of tractors were the best. All the creature comforts and not too much electronics or emission gadgets.

Always had a thing for the high horsepower V 8 units like an 8850 or 4994.
Modern unit would be Claas Xerion
