I agree with what the others are saying. It's the high dollar green paint and the "warm & fuzzy" feeling of having what grandpa had that makes these worth so much.
I've never been on a 4020 and hardly any deeres at all, so no I don't understand the "experience" one gets on a green & yellow tractor. To me they all have strengths *& weaknesses. Our big tractor is an Oliver 1855 which puts out 105 pto HP, so it's about as strong as a 4020. Just a much smaller engine that is pushed about to it's max. The controls on it are all in a very good location and within reach without leaning forward or aything like that. MUCH more comfortable than the 986 we rent once in a while when we need a 2nd 100 HP tractor to fill a bag.
I'm kinda glad that the ollies can be had for so much less. Makes them a much more affordable tractor horsepower vs. $$$. I also have a 63 1600, it was my grandpa's he bought new in 64. We've got it on the farm insurance for $10,000, which we feel is almost a fair replacement price. No way we could replace that tractor for a mere $5,000. Not with all the work I put into it and the sentimental value it has.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
