Some people love to argue JD versus IH just as others would argue Ford versus Chevy. I don't know how much technology mattered in the end during the horsepower race of the 1960's and 1970's. A JD 4020 diesel synchro typically could be bought for 100's less than an IH 806/856 equipped with a TA and that is all that mattered for quite a number of farmers.

Also, when the Ford NH merger happened a dropped IH dealer turned FNH made the comment how he dreaded Ford Motor Co financing because they did not have a clue as to how agriculture worked.
