I don't know, I've heard some bad things about New Hollands here and there just like you have, but I've heard it's just certain models (dunno which ones though) and everybody knows the more electronic things on a tractor, the more to go wrong. I have seen quite a few of the big Case IH MX series in front of the repair garage at the local dealership, but then again most of the people that have those MX series around here really pound on those tractors and those are most likely the ones I'm seeing, I often hear stories from the guy who works in the Case IH garage of these big mega farmers buying a brand new rig, and immediatly bringing it back to them and ask for them to hotrod it, so they can pull it at the local field days and run faster than their neighbors, obviously it will void their warranty, but most of them don't care as they like to show off, and then they take it to a pull, throw on huge weight racks front and rear and go way over the manufacturers suggested maximum weight limit by atleast 10,000lbs, and pull it as hard as it possibly can with modified engines with duels front and rear and so far I haven't seen one of those tractors break, now thats really saying something!. Why I'm seeing 2-3 of those MX series there in front of the garage all the time, I really don't know, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's probably due to little electronic failures as all those new big tractors are all computerized and those are going to be a major PITA to keep repaired as the tractor gets older. Around here, Case IH is the top dog, and sells more than any other brand. People do get mighty angry when one of those electronic malfunctions occur and some would then get rid of the tractor and buy another brand thinking they are better off, I wouldn't think too much of it if New Holland outsells the other brands in your area, then it would make more sense why there would be more used.

A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
