John Deere is the most popular tractor, Farmall is second, oliver and AC are about tied then the others fall in. This is all pretty much a fact of most, I say most pulls, and shows. They have the most known structure, supported by the mother company, the two cylinder club and it's publications. You don't see this from any other tractor companies, I know there are other clubs and rallies, but two cylinder is world renound, fact. You have a hard time seeing any JD items for sale that don't say "official licensed product" . When do you see that on any other tractor products. Further, let's all agree that John Deere invented the walking plow, thus putting farming where it is today, fact. What company has never been sold, traded, went under and so on, John Deere, fact. As far as being behind by holding on to the 2 cyl. design, again, fact, it worked and it worked very well. The first diesel to set a fuel economy record that stood until beaten by yet another john deere model. This brings us to the 3020-4020 that were advertised and greatly agreed upon that these units were years ahead of there time, fact. If you go to a sale and one of these tractors is for sale, they sell for as much or more than they did new, given the proper condition , fact. People want these to use in modern farming, even today, they represent a tremendous value, while still being fully functional. I like all tractors, I like JD the best, but you must give credit where credit is due. History does tell the story.
