Wide frames are much easier to work on. But all in all as far as capability goes. In respect of what engine they have pretty much all the IH models are equally capable machines. Quietlines tend to take more maintance but are excellent machines. 82 series are my go to for all around workhorses. But still have a soft sport for the single cylinder engines on all the older models. Nothing quite like the sound of a working k161/181.
All in all I say pick what one you think looks the best. Then decide if you want hydro or gear drive.
