John Deere vs IHC

You handle is "red bearing", you trying to stir something up.

All brands have positive and negative models and features.
 

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Might as well ask these questions too.

Ford vs Chev

Blonde vs redhead

Gas vs diesel
 
No_One brand is not better than the other brands .They all have good,all have bad points.Its personal preference,dealer availability/'quality'
 
They all had good ones. Except Allis, that is. Ha!

Growing up nothing green was allowed on the place. I'll stand by my words that we had some of the best tractors IH made - an 856, a 966, and a 1086. I started out with only red on my farm.

However...

Like I say, they all made good ones. The time I spend on the 4020 or the 4440 is good time and the down time on those machines probably figures out to minutes per year. Those tractors are just bulletproof. I know, quad range is pricey to fix if someone has beat it up. You can sink thousands into any field tractor fixing it. I was always taught to run machinery like it was made of gold and like your life depended on its longevity. It does, in fact.

I think they all had their scarlet letters, too. I would love for the old IH to still be around to compare resale values. I am just shocked at the value anything painted green has, no matter how old it is.

I have a pretty good mix of all makes of machines. The farm sale here someday with be a bonanza of builders. I have neighbors who will ONLY go to Deere for anything (nuts and bolts included - no joke). I just research who makes the best of whatever I need and go find one.
 
Yes go to the sales white cows go for nothing black cows bring top dollar, don't ask me why but I had two identical Limosins one red one black I got 10 cents a lb. more for the black they both in the pen together.

I worked in a JD industrial shop in 71 and they had some definite design flaws, but they made the most user friendly logging equipment at the time. IH kind of shot themselves in the foot with the TA, they kept increasing the engine horsepower without improving the TA. It's very common for manufacturers to market a product before it is really tested and proven, Polaris 4-wheelers did it with their first 4 strokes, and even Honda did it with their electric shift.
We have a JD and a IH, but we keep them in different sheds, and I love them both!
 
To many different models to say yes or no. That is sort of like say which car is fastest a red one or a green one but with our giving a model impossible to answer the question
 
Grand dad farmed with Mules, Dad farmed with Green & I have Red.(I don t farm just play around on my 40.
 
If Herefords were black and Angus were red
Would breeders of Hereford breed Angus instead?
I mean, would the people who bred Herefords first
Be now breeding Angus if things were reversed?

Or would they be loyal to red, white and true
To the color of cowlick be always true blue?
If such were the case they would dis all the blacks
Tell jokes about prolapse, compare them to Yaks

More suited for saddle or wearing a yoke
Than stubbornly breeding until they go broke
And those of the Aberdeen Angus cartel
would they tout maternal endowments as well

Promoting their native resistance to thorns
While cursing as mutants those not sprouting horns
Just draggin' their sheath through cheatgrass and burrs
like leaky ol' bass boats nobody insures

Debate would rage on like it does anyway
if the South had worn Blue and the North had worn gray
Or if Henry Ford had been Hank Chevrolet
You'd still be a Ford man... or would you, today?

So if Herefords were black and Angus were red
would the breeders of Herefords breed Angus instead
The question begs deep philosophical thought
But don't get disgruntled or get overwrought

The breeders of purebreds run true to the grain
and efforts to change them would just be in vain
AND NOT BECAUSE THEY THINK OTHER CATTLE ARE BAD

John Deere makes good farm tractors and equipment. Thing is, they just plain want too much for 'em.

My 2¢,

Allan
 
Too many variables in models, price and condition to answer your question. I've gone tractor shopping several times not wanting a specific brand and ended up getting a better deal on a JD. Sometimes it's just a matter of having more to choose from.
 
They both made each other better. Competition is a good thing. My dad had both John Deere and International tractors. I have both and I like them both. The tractors never fight in the shed!

Dats like axing ifi'n a red truck vill go faster dan a green one.

When I drove trucks, some one tryed to tell me day donut make white freightliners no more. I know they dew, cause I drove one. And its painted white.
 
if you are worried about your image yes, if you buy stuff that does the job and don't care about trying to impress others then no, there are several area's like tillage ect. that IH was way ahead of jd, they also built better engines except for the 4/560 dsl.
 
some are just brand loyals and blinded by color,jd has and advertisement of a small car sitting behind a green corn head telling the brand loyals that parts from and auto parts store aren't precision quality enough for there equip.,also had a brain washed ih parts man tell me that after market parts weren't any good,but in my humble opinion and being bought with my money if WONG YAN PING or WHOM ever made it regardless of packaging it's still the SAME PART.
 

Save everyone some time.

I have a _______________ tractor. Best tractor ever because I bought it. It is way better than _____________. Guy down the road had a ___________ it was a piece of junk.
 
Delusional replies outnumber reality almost 20 to 1. Yep! Those "other brands" are so good, that explains why IH/Case IH/ CNH/CNHI/Fiat/Your name here, has been passed around like a bottle of Ripple at a hobo campfire.
