I respectfully disagree. I believe there are so many because there was a huge demand for them so they made a lot to keep up with that demand. They were in demand because they were great tractors, definately the best of their day. And if numbers sold have anything to do with it, then pehaps they are the best ever.
They came out in 1939 and seems like diesels weren't sold in great numbers until the late sixties, 30 years later. That's a lot of time for them to have been worked plenty. Not to mention there are still many in service today, 70 years later. Both an M and a Super H at our place. The 806D and 706 gasser work more, but the letters still get there time in.
And I'm sure you know the old statistic about which model tractor has supplied the most horsepower ever, the H.
I personally think they are the best ever, but that doesn't make it so. I'm not all that smart.
