I worked with everything you listed and will always stand by John Deere. I know they are expensive but they are worth it.
Everything else is just a JD wannabe.
I know I don’t need to remind you that you get what you pay for.
Gas or Diesel?
Diesel because gas goes bad swiftly.
Non-ethanol gas treated with PRI-G can last 10 years if re-treated every 12 months. Bad gas can be restored using PRI-G.

Yes, JD makes good equipment. Lord help you, however, if you ever need a part. I have had the same experience at every JD dealership I have ever been to. If you are not there to buy a NEW JD they would prefer you not bother them.
Case/IH, on the other hand, are always a pleasure to deal with. Unfortunately, I find I need IH parts on a very regular basis so maybe that’s why!
