From where I sit in central Kansas. In the 40's-60's we had a strong M-M dealer in a little town of a couple hundred population and he sold a pot full of LP tractors. Not much else, just tractors as M-M didn't make much other machinery that was very popular in this area. Most were U models and later G's and GB's, even a few number series in the 60's and early 70's. But, JD dominated the market in our area as we had a strong dealership in our county and in the county south of us. Had several uncles who farmed, along with my Dad. Two were pretty much die-hard JD men, as was Dad. One was a Case tractor guy but used a lot of JD equipment. Another was a M-M fan as he was near the town mentioned earlier. Another was also a pretty much all JD man. The tractors I remember the uncles and Dad using were; JD Model A for row crop, D's, AR, 420 (used for haying), 70D, 720D, 730D, 830D, Case LA LP, M-M U gas. Later came a 5010 and that was about the end of that generation. All except the A were standard. Two of the uncles used M-H combines, the rest were JD. I don't remember any of them using anything IHC. This was pretty much wheat and milo country with some row-crop.
