They all had good ones. Except Allis, that is. Ha!
Growing up nothing green was allowed on the place. I'll stand by my words that we had some of the best tractors IH made - an 856, a 966, and a 1086. I started out with only red on my farm.
However...
Like I say, they all made good ones. The time I spend on the 4020 or the 4440 is good time and the down time on those machines probably figures out to minutes per year. Those tractors are just bulletproof. I know, quad range is pricey to fix if someone has beat it up. You can sink thousands into any field tractor fixing it. I was always taught to run machinery like it was made of gold and like your life depended on its longevity. It does, in fact.
I think they all had their scarlet letters, too. I would love for the old IH to still be around to compare resale values. I am just shocked at the value anything painted green has, no matter how old it is.
I have a pretty good mix of all makes of machines. The farm sale here someday with be a bonanza of builders. I have neighbors who will ONLY go to Deere for anything (nuts and bolts included - no joke). I just research who makes the best of whatever I need and go find one.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
