Current AGCO brands are Massy Ferguson, Challenger, Fendt and Valtra. They dropped White and AGCO badged tractors sometime ago.
I've seen a lot of farm land around the US. I've seen areas that were predominantly one brand or another. Back in the 70's I never saw and area that the majority of the tractors were Ford, Oliver, MM or White. I saw those brands sprinkled through some areas and totally absent in others. Now that's not saying that those brands were not the leading tractor in some areas.
Here for example we had a JD dealer 8 miles away but very few farmers had JD. AC was about 14 miles with a good dealer but not a strong presence. Ford 8 miles but very few Fords. IH was 20 miles but that was what you saw the most of. Case was 25 miles and a joke. Didn't see any of those within 10 miles of our farm. MF was 60 miles and small. Few combines but that was about it. 60 miles west of us was mostly JD at that time. Case was next followed by MF. Basically it was the dealer who made a brand predominate in a given area. In east central KS near Ft Riley it was a split between JD and IH. AC had a strong presence in south central MN.
Over in the Red River Valley area of MN/ND Deere had a leg up as they had a 4X4 tractor out before most of the others did. At first it was another manufacturer who made them for Deere. IIRC Deere eventually bought them out. So the Valley was mostly JD prior to the 80's farm crises and stayed that way until the Quad Track came out. Now you are starting to see a lot of red paint over there.
