Interesting to ponder. Maybe regional, as in type of farming?
Here in my end of the county in central NY I would say AC,IH, and JD were pretty evenly represented. At one time you could drive 20 to 25 miles and have your choice of dealers for one brand! A few Olivers, very few Case, MH, MF, Ford, never saw a MM ! Oliver actually gained with the earlier bigger gas tractors before diesels took over. I remember a few 1850 gassers and 5 bottom plows!
Now JD owns the area. Their max-emerge planter took over. The "new" side saddle combines came out and took over!(I'll never understand that) Then they re-invented themselves with a centerline design combine, and finished off any remaining competition. Of course the new generation, operator friendly, powershift, abundant hydraulics tractor was really the springboard.
