10 UGLIEST AMERICAN TRACTORS YOU DIDN'T KNOW EXIST

Picture this: farmland stretching for miles, the low hum of an old engine, and-out of nowhere-a tractor so strange-looking you can’t help but stare. Today, we’re counting down the 10 ugliest American tractors you probably never knew existed. Let’s get nostalgic as we explore these mechanical misfits from the 1900s-believe me, some are truly unforgettable. Now, let’s dig in.

Which Tractor did you think was the most interesting? Let us know in the comments!🚜🚜🚜

Yuba

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[@dancotten505]

They were all beautiful looking back through their evolution period.

[@VintageMachines19]

Totally get what you mean! Sometimes you just gotta love them for what they are, even if they're a bit quirky!

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

If you faced the North end of South bound horses or mules, I don't think ANY tractor would have been ugly!😂

[@VintageMachines19]

Ha! After that view, I’d say even my old rust-bucket tractor looks like a supermodel!

[@garychandler4296]

ALL of these critters are beautiful!

[@TonyLoechte]

They all rocked ❤

[@VintageMachines19]

Love it!

This is a fascinating video with lots of good information. I fail to see the necessity on emphasizing appearances.

[@jimstruve3602]

There is some interesting lineage to the Avery Ro-Trac. It was originally designed by Cletrac as the model GG. Then Avery took over production (so Cletrac could focus on crawlers?). Avery was eventually absorbed by Minneapolis Moline who continued to produce the tractor an the Minneapolis Moline model BF.

[@VintageMachines19]

Thanks for sharing that fascinating history about the Avery Ro-Trac! It's always interesting to learn about the evolution of these tractors and the companies behind them.

[@ModernFarmerTV]

It's really cool to see these tractors. These are my favorite tractors.

[@VintageMachines19]

I think so too! Thanks for watching!

[@frederickfaykes]

Ironically the entire John Deere segment didn't show one picture of a GPO 🤔🙄

[@VintageMachines19]

That's a great observation! The GPO definitely has its own unique look that could have made the list. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@Joshua-o6g9b]

I noticed the same they were all gp's with little optional differences and set ups.

[@donwilson6617]

You should find someone to be the speaker on your videos that has some basic experience with what he is talking about. What does ugly have to do with these great machines...that helped the United States become the world leaders in food production and equipment manufacturing...

[@rickgaston7118]

My grandfather had F-20 with rubber tires . First one in the area . Other farmers said the rubber tires were inadequate . He proved them wrong

[@VintageMachines19]

Nice!

[@jdwht2455]

I have a problem calling these "ugly". They were a sign of the times and reflected designers and suppliers ideas of what (and did) worked. If you are a Brit as your accent mostly says, you really need to look at what was produced in Merrie Olde England between 1900 and 1960 or thereabouts if you want to talk about ugly farm equipment.

[@VintageMachines19]

I agree. They're more unique looking than ugly which is why we speak about how good they were.

[@aerialcat1]

There are no ugly John Deere’s!

[@rotunda57]

Mr. Douglas was once shown driving both a JD GP and a Hoyt-Clagwell. The GP is shown as being ugly but not the Hoyt-Clagwell. What??

[@VintageMachines19]

Maybe next time

[@Joshua-o6g9b]

Unfortunately when they were building these beautiful machines that shaped and fed our country "how aesthetically pleasing can we make these" didn't register as high priority requirements when they were trying to develop the best, most reliable, powerful machines suited for the tasks at hand. Ironically, the things that you think make these tractors ugly such as the visible, intricate mechanical components and the unique styling that they did use are what makes them so beautiful. You could stand there and stare at a sheet metal cover and listen to it run and wonder what is going on or you can stand there and watch alot of what makes it run with grace and beauty unobstructed, and appreciate it.

[@VintageMachines19]

@@Joshua-o6g9b I agree. They are mechanical marvels for their time. The title might say ugly but I love them all.

[@AlvinWhite-tw6tb]

What does ugly have to do if its getting the job done?

[@VintageMachines19]

True. They are cool pieces of machinery.

[@lloydwegener3956]

Too much talk as ususual for USA for Christ sake shut up

[@John-gm1si]

The tractor at 6:53. International F12 with a flat head motor?

[@VintageMachines19]

The Waukesha flathead?

[@williammay5300]

What about the tractor in the still picture?

[@thomascruff786]

The ugliest tractor ever built is a Kubota and very overpriced you can get a Massey Ferguson or a Ford much cheaper.

[@jacobyoder4166]

A few of them look ugly to me but I couldn't see most of them as ugly. The John Deere looks nice to me.

[@VintageMachines19]

@@jacobyoder4166 I think they're all interesting

[@DebraDvorak-y4l]

You might want to change the title of this....I failed to see one ugly tractor in the bunch.

[@VintageMachines19]

Not ugly, just unique?

[@orlinchirinos1981]

I can make an uglier tractor than most of this 😂

[@mikemehaffey9693]

Future ugly tractor, will be a Green, Electrical Self-Driving model. (like a Telsa Truck.)

[@VintageMachines19]

@@mikemehaffey9693 I can see that but hopefully not boxy and stainless steel

[@clarencetrice4442]

😊😊 the early gas tractors didn't have slide panels on them so they could have plenty of air flow around the engines and the early gas tractors looked just like 👍 😊 the early steam engines 😊😊 OMG 2 1 2O25

[@VintageMachines19]

LOL! OMG 2025 is right

[@dwightl5863]

I also believe that panels and covers would be a hindrance to maintenance that needed to be performed numerous times during the day. Much easier to see if something wasn't working or sounding right to locate a problem. These were not smooth running machines especially with steel wheels. I would surmise panels of any sort would become real rattle traps. IMHO

[@VintageMachines19]

@@dwightl5863 I agree. We had a allis-chalmers wd45 and always had to do something to it to either start it or keep it running.
