I think you need to differentiate by application. For small jobs I don't think you can beat the longevity of the 8n series Fords and the 126 Massey. For moderate I think the H and M have held up well. I was never impressed by the Green tractors in either of these categories. We have had a 2020 and an MT. Both were very high maintenance and the other tractors would work circles around them. I prefer my 1206 to just about any other tractor in its category. I have 14,000 hrs. on it and still hasn't had the engine opened. The injector pump was overhauled and I had to change the top cover and shifter arms on top, but that is it. I like the Steiger for the really large tractor. My uncle had a Case and a Ford and a Steiger, and the Steiger seemed to me to be the tractor of choice. Change oil and filters and keep clean fuel in it and hold on because it will run all day and night and it's just like the energizer bunny. But as many as there are tractors and people here there are going to be as many opinions and for that reason most will never agree and the different manufacturers will continue to build. Some will be excellent and others junk. But as long as we love them the tractor will continue to be an icon of our freedom and innovative society.
