I was a kid in the 60's farming with my dad and he went to the back row of the tractor lot to look at tractors. We progressed thru a DC Case, D John Deere, MH44 diesel, IH MTA diesel etc. The first new tractor was a 3000 Ford in 72'. He is 87 now and still farming.Here in southern Az there seems to be a trend for newer bigger and better. Also a lot of farmers are going under. I know one guy running late 70's JD tractors (4420's & 4440's) and doing well. I did an overhaul on an early 4020 for a school teacher freind of mine and he squalled whenever we had to buy a deere specific part. We got a lot of the stuff from aftermarket suppliers a lot cheaper. Found a used crankshaft at a tractor salvage place but even it was not cheap.
