In Reply to: resonding to old post.....your choice of a 90-100 hp in 70's posted by Jack a on June 25, 2012 at 21:41:19:

LOL in it's class? What other tractor was in it's class? Just above the 3020 and 766 and just below the 856 and 4020 so i guess being in it's own class makes the most economical to run in it's class.....ROFL!

OK to set this up. Born and rasied to the tender age of 16 in NJ in the fringe of the burbs to NYC. Moved to MN in 71. I thought that the new AC tractors were the best looking one out there. Really liked the looks of the 190XT's. Didn't get to run one but I put a lot of hours on an 826 IH, JD 3020, 4020 and 4440. Did some time on a Case 970. Jump forward to a few years ago. I was retired from the Army and able to buy a tractor so I went looking for a 190XT. Unfortunately I found one. Would have been way better off looking for another one. Sure one can run a PD tractor with a blower but I can run a IH, Ford, or JD faster because of the independent PTO. Productivity is what counts!

You can believe what you want to concerning the combines. The summer of 73 I worked with a custom crew. We started out in OK and worked our way to ND. None of the other big crews were running anything except JD and MF. Sure the Gleaner was considered the cleanest one to run but when you are clocking 1000 hours a year reliability and durability are the force behind buying.

You can look at all the charts and graphs you want as far a fuel consumption is concerned. Gallons per acre is the only measurement that counts! Most tractors don't set still running PTO RPM's their whole life.

I still think the 190XT is the best looking tractor ever built but I will never own another now that I'm farming! I've got a 1206 Farmall (great tractor that replaced the 190XT), M (hate it, about zero value on a farm today, mines primary job is a poo spreader tractor) and a Ford 8N being used on the farm today. My dad had a AC CA and JD R. The CA was a nice tractor for how it was used but the 8N beats it hands down!

If I were to collect and restore tractors a JD R, AC CA and the 190XT would be on my list.....but I'm farming now so I'm looking for tractors that will get the job done.
