The choice is similar to Ford or Chevy? You might just also be at the heart of Red versus Green with those two tractors in particular. The "H" is the highest selling tractor in agriculture history, with almost half a million sold between 1939 and 1955. I don't know the numbers on the "B" but it was a lot also. You won't go wrong with either one. Both look great when they are restored and they will attract a crowd at any show. I agree with Doug. Buy them both and then you can "talk" green and red at the same time. The "H" seems a little high priced. They sell for more around the $1300-1500 mark around the upper midwest here, but if it is really good, then that figure might be o.k. You can't lose on either of those classic tractors. Good luck.
