Interesting topic and I would have been happy selling just about any brand back in the day. As far as preferences go I would have to say John Deere back during the 1960's, 1970's, and 1980's. The closest JD dealer to us closed back in the mid-1960's and even as a kid I imagined my family taking it over and running it. The building was in town and too small for the cab equipped tractors and combines plus simply would have been too small for a 6600 or 7700 combine when they came around 1970. Therefore, it would have been necessary to go into new facilities outside of town. Probably would have had a few shortlines as well such as Badger and Glencoe. New Holland would have been nice as well and there were a couple Deere dealers that also carried New Holland. Being able to benefit from looking at it today in 2018 it may have not been wise to take on NH as a Deere dealer in the mid-1960's as the franchise would most likely have been pulled after the Ford New Holland merger during 1986 so somebody else would have benefitted from all your work building up New Holland in your territory. Being able to work with cash to get started would have made life fairly nice versus coming up by the bootstraps.
