It is kind of like Ford vs Chevy, depends on which you like the best. Both have pros and cons. Clearly the Deere 2 cylinder has fewer parts, a selling point back then was there was less to go wrong. I think Deere had a little better fuel economy (at least some models vs IH). The two cylinder engine did have very good low end torque. Deere tractors of this era had a very heavy transmission and diff/bull gears. Deere changed to 4 and 6 cylinder in 1960, the 2 cylinder ran out of capacity to produce more power and maintain reliability customers expected. The two cylinder engine was getting expensive to manufacture requiring expensive and more difficult to machine due to the requirement for stronger castings. The tooling was also getting old and beginng to wear out. Deere also wanted to upgrade to a tractor that was more comfortable.
International was clearly a smoother running tractor. International was the sales leader until approx. the mid 1960's.
