NW Tennessee | We use JD equipment because we've always had good service from them. We have at least 8 dealers that I can think of within a 60 mile radius of our shop. There are almost that many CIH dealers in the same area. JD has always served us well. We're not 100% JD. We run some red equipment, own a Kinze planter, and spray with a Spray Coupe. Have owned an International tractor in the past. Chose to replace it with another JD.
IMHO, if you want to talk expensive parts, AGCO should top the list. Most of their parts prices are ridiculous! I also have a neighbor that says parts for his blue tractors are quite a bit higher than parts for his JD. But, I'll admit that's just hearsay, not my personal experience.
Seems to me, on this forum and others like it, there are a lot more instances of anti-JD sentiments and bashing, than the other way around. Again, just my opinion.
I choose JD for their service, parts availability, current and past performance, and re-sale value. This all pertains to MY AREA and MY OPINIONS. Other areas may be completely different and I know other opinions are, and that's fine. That's the same reason they make different flavors of Kool-Aid. personal preference.
