I grew up in Northwestern Richland County Ohio. In the 50's IHC was the dominant make. Maybe followed by Oliver, Allis, & John Deere in that order. Very few Case and Moline. Of course there were a few Fords but the 2N,8N tractors weren't held in high regard. Most farmers considered them good loader tractors but pretty gutless in the field. There were almost no standard tractors around. The only ones I remember were IHC WD-9's & Oliver 99's. Everything else was a row crop style, no single front wheels either. Although I spent part of one summer cultivating corn with an F12 with a single front wheel for a neighbor. It still had the original diamond tread rear tires. Of course the local IHC dealer was one of the best around. Dad was an Allis man from the start, guess he just liked orange paint. I know my brother & I were thrilled when he bought a John Deere H with a 2 row cultivator.
