Where would you find the extra labor to run 4 or 5 1960's tractors instead of just one operator on one modern tractor? Fuel economy would be worse than today's tractors too.
The $7,000 to buy a new 4020 back in 1967 would be the equivalent of $61,000 today. Deere was rolling out around 2000 4020's a week back then, so they had a large economy of scale to pay for the cost of their tooling, fixtures, machining transfer lines,assembly lines, inspection and test equipment, etc. Today I doubt there would be enough sales volume to pay for the cost of the new tooling, so the cost to manufacture a new 1960's tractor today would be much much higher than the $61,000 1967 price in today's dollars.
