In my particular location in northwest Iowa New Idea pickers were thought of as the Cadillac of pull type pickers because they picked clean. Other dominant pull pickers were Minneapolis and IH. Deere didn’t seem to have much dominance in the pull type picker marker till the early 70’s and by the near corn picking was fading away but Deere sold a lot of them in the 70’s.

Baler brands were more varied. Deere and New Holland were the dominant baler brands right around close to home but there were Masseys and Cases too. One dominant and dependable Oliver dealer 20 miles south of me sold lots of Oliver balers in his area merely because he was such a good reliable dealer.
Tractor brands were Deere IH and Oliver with a few Cases sprinkled in.
