Each class of tractors by age and size was represented well by some brands and not so well by other brands. IH and JD had the best of luck in the 70"s and thats why they are still around.
There just isnt much of an argument saying that an 806 is better than a 4020 or this or that. There is a reason they made so many 4020"s and why so many are still around.
Now in the 70HP class I don"t think the 706 or 656 was quite as frequent around here as the JD 3020, Oliver 1655, Ford 5000.
Then you go to the smaller classes where the MF 135, MF 165 and Ford 3000/4000 dominated.
My dad and I farm with 3 tractors that are all different brands. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. The JD is our most dependable and requires the least maintenance (but its 1 owner) The Massey Ferguson does a lot of baling but it is rough on fuel and is a little tough to shift. The Oliver is used for disking and we usually rake hay with it. Its easy to shift and operate but it has its downfalls (it leaks and only starts 8 months of the year)
