Worst Tractor you ever owned

Worst is hard to quantify. Had a Ford 200 diesel (grey tractor) that was a PITA to start. One day it started right up, 20 feet later the crankshaft broke. Had a Farmtrac 50 that every moving metal part on it fatigued and broke in less then a year. A 454 International that was so wore out that I had to replace parts about everyt ime I used it. Take your pick!
 
White 2-105, or a the Case IH 1660 that used more hydro oil than a ocean liner, it just wouldn't catch on fire for nothing.

What about the white? Never had one but I have never heard much bad about them.
 
Mine was a long 610 and it had injector problems as well as injector pump issues hydro problems sometimes you couldnt pick the attachment up sometimes you couldnt drop the attachments down realy POS

When something is built to make things as hard as possible to use, or work on........that's white engineering. :lol2:

Belarus tractors were real popular around here for a couple years in the late 80's or early 90's. They only seemed to last a couple years, and now they're out in everyone's woods or fencerows. Maybe they were like a disposable flashlight?

They are popular with some people around still.

Me 3, we have had a couple dump truck with those.
 
What about a David Brown tractor. I bought a 990 DB at an auction last year for $2100, my buddy laughed at me when I bid on it, he said " it came over on the Mayflower and you won't get parts". We can't get the ugly thing to breakdown, and I think it will run all day on a couple gallons of diesel!
 
I think David browns are ok, another one that some don't like but I and sevarel others I know have had really good luck with is Hesston/fiat tractors, I can buy most any part for one I have ever needed from the local NH dealer, and they are tough as any tractor I have ever seen and great on fuel.

Here here! The better ones are the air cooled ones. They are a cheap tractor with cheap parts and if your handy with a wrench, one of the lowest cost tractors you'll ever own. But everything is crude and oil leaks are common. So if you need something pretty, better go for something else.
