SVCUMMINS, I agree 100 per cent that it has more to do with what you are raised with, familiar with than any brand recognition. My Dad needed a tractor right at the end of WW2. Had his name in at the Deere dealer and IH dealer. Well, a H Farmall became available to him and he took it. I still have it along with another H he bought new later , plus a M my brother bought used years later.

If dad had got a Deere I am sure I would be loyal to the green line. I worked at IH, CaseIH dealer for 37 years and Deere dealer for four. I never got comfortable with the Case tractors or the Deere tractors. I can look at a red one from H on up to the 86 series and visualize nearly 100 per cent of their internals. Never got that far with the other colors. I had considerable experience with the CaseIH Magnum tractors but not enough to compare to the IH tractor. Not a lot of major repairs were done on them in my time frame. Lot of updating packages though.

As for the center post , well, that cab, although rater small, has very sturdy doors and wrap around windshield due to the natural strength that comes with a curved chunk of iron rather than flat and floppy. The Deere floor mat is about two inches thick and does a real good job of surpressing noise where IH mat was junk.

I never liked the Case power shift. Just don't. Never liked Deere hydraulic control of their hitch. A bend bar for draft control, come on. And try to raise or lower a hitch a quarter inch. And Case draft control, what a mess of linkages in that box cable controlled.

I could tell you a ton of things I don't like on IH tractors, but , like I said, I am familiar with them and feel comfortable working on them. Did I should say, I am too darn old now so don't mess with them.
