Deere would still be at the top with IH in second. Oliver would be in 3rd if they couldve released the Corperate Tractor. Allis in 4th and Case in 5th

Slightly bias but i feel the innovation and tech Allis had going on towards the end, I think they would have been quite a contender if not leader

I think if allis chalmers would have stuck to tractors, they would still be here and be number one.

Ih is probably on top because they were almost completely verticaly integrated then John deer 3 rd would be Allis 4th would be stiger because they had by far the best 4 wheel drive everyone went to them to build their tractors

Harvester would be on #1 no doubt. Just a feeling they would’ve buckled down for something big soon after 85, and it would’ve pushed them further ahead. Deere would be 2 just because it’s Deere. The thing stopping them from #1 is harvester pulling ahead, plus not gaining the market share from the #3, Allis Chalmers. They were so close to having widespread market share like Deere. They had a machine whether you farmed in the northern dairylands, the central plains, or the Deep South. Losing them gave Deere a big gain in 85. They had the engineering and new ideas to back it up too, not just recycling the same hood, cab, engine, and trans for 20 years like Deere did. I’d say Case would be at 4, because of their innovations and continuously bettering lineup. Oliver at 5, because they really never seemed like a front runner, but were a super tough, quality machine. Ford and Massey almost tied at 6&7 just because they were both innovating, both growing but the 90s would’ve left them stunned and without NH, they never would’ve had the Genesis. I also feel like the Molines would’ve had a place at the table somewhere in there too. I think Allis could possibly beat Deere too, mainly because of their extensive dealer network scattered all across the country and there would be a lot more gleaner combines too

Theres not enough characters here for the novel I would write but the other commenters are absolutely snoozing on the former world's largest manufacturer of tractors - Massey

Deere and International would probably be top 2. I think Oliver would have been in the top 5, they had a lot of ahead of their time ideas they just couldn’t get them fine tuned. Steiger and Massey to round it out.

IH and Deere are a toss up for 1 and 2, but I still think Deere would be on top, just barely. behind them is probably Massey, then case and maybe ford, if not oliver

Allis was neck and neck with IH and JD up until the doors closed. hard to say where they'd be. They had the networking to do it. But Ill say your big 3 are Allis, JD and IH. Oliver and maybe Massey to round it out.

1 - IH the magnum with 100% IH parts, the continued advancement of a full line of complimentary machinery (I feel case left a lot of it run its course and no updates till they killed it and used New Holland). A close 2 John Deere they’re solid. 3 Allis if they could improve the dealer network.

cockshutt would have been number 1 hand down, superior harvesting equipment, superior tractors ect. 2nd would he case, they had alot of innovation before they merged. allis would be 3rd, they had some great muscle era tractors, and good equipment 4th would be deere, as much as I hate them, they still had and have the best dealer network. 5th would be ih, only if they still get the boxcar magnums. the 66, 86 and 88 series were meh at best

Top 3 would be Deere, IH and Oliver, Oliver was way ahead of their time back in the 50s and 60s, sure would’ve been cool to see what they’d release today

I’m just going off of what I’ve learned from a lot of the old timers that worked with iH that I personally know but a lot of people may or may not have know international Harvester was already looking/thinking ahead 20 years in advance on their tractors. If Archie McCardell wouldn’t have came in to throw wrenches and cut costs then maybe Harvester would’ve been able get the super 70’s out then iH would’ve made a come back. People are talking about the boxcar magnums not ever happening without the merger but iH had plans for tractors that resembled the magnums so maybe we would’ve gotten them still but maybe an intentional diesel engine in it instead of a Cummins 🤷🏼‍♂️Ken Updike I believe said a couple years ago on Facebook iH was going to release a 2+2 with cvt transmission which I think iH could’ve changed the whole tractor game with and maybe the 2+2 design would’ve stuck around 🤷🏼‍♂️I know international definitely had some really crazy and game changing things they had on the table but didn’t have the funds for I believe if things would’ve been different it would’ve pushed iH back to being number one or they would’ve beat Deere off their trail.
