I think it boils down to close proximity to a good dealer for parts and service. In my family, my maternal Grandpa started farming with a John Deere B. During WWII, the tractors were rationed. He wanted a new A and got his name on the list. His name got to the top of the list and the dealer sold the tractor to someone else. My Grandpa was furious. He was driving by the Oliver dealer and he spotted a new 70. He traded the Deere and went to all Oliver. After the Oliver dealer closed in 1960, he bought a new Massey Super 90. Then, in 1964, my Dad went to work for the IH dealer and my Grandpa went to all IH until he "retired." My Uncle went back to Massey. It was all about dealers and relationships, though my Grandpa loved IH. My paternal Grandpa had IH M's, Olivers, and a 4020 before going to all IH with a 1206. When it came to planters...John Deere. Combines we were MM, Case, and finally Gleaner. It was about service. Me? I like them all.
