As the years went along, the number of farms (and farmers) steadily decreased. Farm size made up the difference. The Fordson outsold everything back in the day. It was cheap hp made abundantly available at a time when mechanized farming was in it's infancy. Some folks will roll ALL the "N series" Fords into one lump sum total. 9N and 2N were in essence the same tractor, and the 8N should be counted as a separate model. They were cheap hp for the small farmers who were still making the change to mechanical power. Ferguson produced TE20,s TO20s, TEA20, TO30, TE30, ect..., on through to the TO35. Count all them in one count, and consider their worldwide sales numbers, and you get a strong argument to put them in the top 4 or 5. But, they were separate models... There were several variants of the MF135. Lump them together and you have a shot at top 5 numbers. H & M Binders, A & B Deere's have a strong case. 4020's were the most popular tractor in their class, in their era, but as mentioned, total sales numbers had decreased by that time.
You'll get 4 or 5 brands claiming to have the #1 selling brand and/or models now. Not sure who holds that distinction. Consider US sales only represents a portion of total worldwide sales now days, and that really muddies up the water.
