That's a 60 year span. The new stuff with GPS, air ride seat, filtered cab, power to pull 50+ feet of equipment - going to be hard to beat those, but we are talking big farming, use it up quick & get rid of it before the lease/warrenty runs out so you don't have to replace a computer or rewire it or plastic starts cracking....
On older stuff in your range, the JD 4020 hit a real sweet spot of useful, good size, ecconomical, and had enough of the modern features without the super modern stuff that won't hold up 30 years later.
I really like the Ford 960 that's been around here for 40 years. Got power & features & nimble small size.
The Ford 5200 I picked up a few years ago is becoming my favorite - a bit smaller than a JD 4020, but sure works nice for what I do. Gots loads of features.
Massey just never was popular around here - no dealers. I bet they are good, but - don't see any.
Ollie was very popular around here. They had some features ahead of their time. They outsold JD around here back in their day. The one's I'm familiar with were old enough not to have 3pt, but the models others mentioned always come up as good machines with lots of good features.
International/Farmall was always a real workhorse around these parts. Nothing fancy, just good preformance all day long. My 300 sure had a lot of nifty features for it's day, hard not to like it.
