You don't seem to understand what people are saying. Pretty soon people will have soild aluminum tractors. Lightening a tractor with recast aluminum parts sold is not innovation. Dosen't seem to prove anything to me if someone puts a G JD in a 4500lb. or a oliver 88 in a 3500 lb. class. Seems kind of humiliating putting a big tractor down with little tractors. If these tractors are so bad, they ought to be able to run those high gears around their normal weights. I've seen people take off 1500-2000 lbs. of weight, then turn around and put it back ON? They still had plenty of room to play with their weights to balance properly. I tend to agree with the gentleman above, the most innovation these days is a fat wallet. And here we go with the Deere bashing again. Yes Deeres may be limited to cylinder numbers, but the point you bring up is that other manufacturers increased the number of cylinders while JD stayed with two. In those days tractors were built to serve one purpose. You know what that is. Who knew one day they would be cut up and used for pulling sport. It kind of makes them the underdog, and they do pretty darn good for what they are, and you know that too. Deere was able to use the two cylinder design, match power for power in in the 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50's. Sure they increased the cylinder number in the 60's, but the early idea was to produce a solid durable, cost efficient tractor to build, use, repair, etc. They did that, and was one of, if not the most popular tractors of their time. Like I said, they are limited compared to four, six cylinder engines, but remember you know as well as I do, they did their job as well as any other for PROPER use. I'll be right there with Burns riding on mine into the next century. Has nothing to do with innovation, just tired of Deere and Burns bashing. I don't care to be made fun of because I pull JD's - what if someone made fun of your wife or mother all the time? You would fire back too.
