You would need to break it down to a series within a brand.

For example, the weak link on IHC tractors is the TA tranny - but it is fairly straight foreward & not too spendy to repair one. While it's the weak link, it's also a good feature that I'd want on a tractor I was looking for. Then older H & M models don't have the TA option, so can't fault or praise them....

The Ford had that dreaded SoS tranny, cuts the value of a tractor in half around here when it has that. But the same year, same model Ford tractor with the 5 speed is a really good dependable tractor, but the same year, same model tractor with the 4 speed lacks live pto & does not offer good slow speeds for some applications.

Ollie tractors are generally undervalued for what they are around here, and still a good support network locally, so I would say an Ollie is usually a good buy around here - opposite of what you find.

JD has good parts & good iron, but it is valued so high, it generally is just a collector machine around here, can't afford to use them any more.

Most over-valued machine ever is the Ford N series. Were a great inovation in their day 60+ years ago way ahead of their time, but today are a featureless machine compared to anything from the 50's & 60's, but sell for equal or more $$$$. People just pay money for a cute little tractor without looking at it's value & function.

I find mid 50's to mid 60's IHC & Ollie tractors to be the best bang for the $$$ these days, folks haven't 'discovered' them yet. I'm partial to the Ford 100 series without SoS, probably because the first tractor I learned to drive was a 5 speed..... :)
