Red for sure. Yellow doesn't look at all like Christmas.

Re: Yellow or red which color is better?
I would have said red in a heartbeat a few months ago. That was before I saw Farmall51's 61 cub loboy. OOPS < that is his wife's tractor I believe. Now I have to say i like them both

Re: Yellow or red which color is better?
I can see where this is going to go into a food fight. Anyone have popcorn?
I'm not going to say which is better. Just that I don't bleed yellow.

Re: Yellow or red which color is better?
I gotta wonder why the yellow one is holding a tomato. Or is it an apple? Either way, weird.

Re: Yellow or red which color is better?

Must be like the green paint on John Deere parts driving the price up.

Re: Yellow or red which color is better?
when I was a boy we farmed with a farmall M, a farmall super M , an old alice chalmers WC and a 1030 Case. My Grampa said the john deeres were OK tractors but he could not afford that green paint.

Re: Yellow or red which color is better?
true story , i was looking for a rear bulb , bit of a hurry for a parade . did some i-net searching , and found out the bulb was $12 or so ( case dealer is not close ) . A cross reference showed it was also for a model of john deere . great , we have a local dealer well stocked . I called on the phone and the salesman said $ 64.50 ( or something close to that ) . i mentioned the price that case/IH gave me . without hesitation , he said , and i quote , " but , that one does not come in a pretty green box " coppersmythe......................................P.S. my favorite color cub is the one under me

Re: Yellow or red which color is better?
Next to not building the first 460s/560s heavy enough, getting into the construction business, and building torque amplifiers as long as they did, the biggest mistake IH ever made was painting tractors and lawn mowers that awful calf-scours yellow and white!

Re: Yellow or red which color is better?
I went to the JD dealer for a hose for my front end loader. when told the price I went and bought 4 adapters and two hoses for the same amount at a lil autoparts store. when I found the cost for a brain box that controls the fuel shut off solenoid on my JD 790 I discovered a few bad connections and re soldered them on the board inside that black box, tractor is still running 4 months later. The brain for the JD gator is over $300 from JD but an industrial sweeper company uses the same engine and it can be had for a lil over $200 from them
wait, green wasnt a choice, NM

Re: Yellow or red which color is better?
All red in my house, but at my church I use a 70s blue tractor for plowing snow and a 50 hour green one for mowing and loader work. I like them all, but the green one doesn't come out of my check book.
As for Cubs, I'm with coppersmythe, the best color Cub is the one I'm on.
