The early Fords were innovators and were the perffect tractor for what they were designed to do. The three point hitch became the standard for most utility tractors up until this day.

John Deere was not known for innovation but for refining existing technology great marketing and dealer network. All old iron was good at something and none was good at everything. Just my opinion, take it for what it cost you.
