Actually in my neck of the woods in the late 60's and early 70's it was price first followed by dealer support/location. Most of the farmers here at the time were tight wads! MF was too far and the best service/parts were IH and JD. AC dealer was tiny and the Ford dealer was a joke. If dealers were equal and and they offered the same sized tractor at the same price then it came down to brand loyality.

Now it's the social climbers with their JD's and the rebels with CaseIH. Kinda funny, the area was about 80% AG related back then, now maybe 10%. Tell a guy who works in the dog food plant "I own JD" and it means nothing. So I don't know who they are trying to impress.
