I would want to consider availability and convenience of parts and service as a part of this decision, too. You could include a Belarus or other alternative brand, but if you cannot find some place which will provide parts and service support, you are dead in the water. It has been extremely rare when I have had a tractor break down while being stored in a shed. Come to think of it, I don't think I have ever had something fail when it wasn't in use. In most cases, I needed to get the job done when I was using the tractor and encountered a break down. I was either able to repair it rather quickly, or had access to another tractor I could use in the meantime.
If you are in hilly country, low profile and a wide tread stance will improve stability. I suspect you can find ROPS for most of what you have cited, but I have never looked myself for one. Ford, IH/Case IH, Deere, or White are probably going to be the most logical choices. The 1490 Case, I suspect might be on the rare side, with parts and support being rather thin. In the case of the Allis Chalmers, it is getting harder to find dealerships in our area who offer parts and support. I suppose the same could also be said about White, too.

My husband Ben came in the garage one rainy day to see if he could "help". Well if you knew Ben you wouldn't want him anywhere near your spray gun, fiberglass or bondo! So I pulled out the 2 old yucky looking magne
