I think a lot of why we prefer one brand over other comes from personal experience, experience of others, from observation, from what we know of dealers and manufacturers, etc.
Examples: Our LA Case used 1 extra 5 gallon can of fuel to do the same work that our GTB MM did in each half day of work. An extra 10 gallons per day is a lot of fuel over a summer.
I had a 1070 Case and my friend and neighbor had a 1066 International. His used an extra gallon of diesel per hour and acreage covered was approximately the same.
Mfg. ex: A friend of mine worked for Eaton that made hydraulic parts for several mfgs. He told of a shipment of pumps to Ford that was rejected due to improper tolerances. They repainted those very rejects and shipped the to John Deere and they were accepted. That was the story but whether Deere and Ford ever used the same parts I don't know.
Used to be that Ford pickup owners always had bashed up and poor looking units compared to Chevrolets. We began associating that with poor vehicles although I expect it was instead mindset of owners rather than the vehicles themselves.
Dealer ex: Where I live is on its 3rd John Deere dealer since I've lived here while we still have the same Ford dealer. That is one major reason I bought a Ford tractor. Seeing that most of the Amish used Fords didn't hurt any with that decision either.

And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
