Got to thinking about this a while back when I was looking at a tractor to buy for where I'm living now. Each brand has it's own loyal following, but within each brand which were the all stars?
Era I'm thinking of is from early 60's until around 2000 or so, when computers and electronics started showing up. HP range being 50 or 60 on the low end, and perhaps topping out at 90 to 100 at the top.
Other criteria is a general purpose tractor......expected to do it all from row crops to all manner of utility use. If you only got to pick one, which would it be and why?
I grew up on JD, so my short list would include a 3020 or 4020 diesel. Part of my bias comes from running that 3020, which showed up in 1964 and is still on the farm today and still gets used all the time. In it's entire lifetime, it has rarely had anything done to it but general maintenance. And a good straight one that has been taken care of still brings a lot of money, so I guess I'm not alone in my assessment.
