Like any other market, different competitors leap frog ahead of each other from time to time. Two big advancements that I think dominated enough to actually changed the tractor market are:
Early 1920's Fordson. Despite its short comings, its extremely low price and modern design captured around half of the entire tractor market and forced the competition to advance or quit.
1970 Case 70 series. Integrated cabs set a new standard of quietness and comfort that left the rest of the industry scrambling to catch up.
