Before I start, let me say that I have red paint on more than one set of shoes. I wasn't even 10 when I knew how to run an IH 'C' and an 806 Wheatland. We also had an 'H'. I have also spent some time on 1066s and 1086s. I think both 806 and 4020 machines are great. The engine in the 806 is phenomenal !!! Putting the 1066 in the same class as a 4020 is not a fair comparison. Compare a 1066 to a 4430. Far more of the IH flock went green on that choice than on the 4020/806 choice. Also, the local dealer is a big factor in the choice too. If you trust your IH dealer but not the JD dealer, I think I'd choose the IH even if the JD was better, as my dad did. IH tractors were a great value and still are. No reasonable person will deny that. I focus my toy collecting on IH tractors. But, after 1960, JD tractors just leap frogged the IH machines in ergonomics and finese. JDs from that era are just more pleasant to drive. In today's world, the choice might come down to what you're going to be doing with the machine, the cost of the machine, and perhaps, sentimental or religious favorites. I would take either one and be tickled. They're both still great machines in terms of reliability and usability. If all I was going to do is plow or chisel plow all day long, I'd take the 806/856. But, if you were to make me choose, and I had to stick to my choice, I'd take the 4020.
