mostly because they copied others designs. other companies went through the research and development of a product and Deere come along made a few changes to avoid patent rights, painted it green and sold it. classic examples are the rotary combine and the QuadTrac 4 tract 4wd tractor design. and yes I said made a few changes most if which were not for the better of the design. there are more examples of this over the years as mentioned in earlier posts about garden tractors they came out with one years after someone else did. they also took advantage of the little guy like they did with Kinze when they made an agreement with him in the 1980's and soom backed out of their side leaving him hanging, but Kinze sued and won read all about this in the book "Fifty Years of Disruptive Innovation Kinze Book" Another way was directly buying products from other companies and painting them green marking up the price and selling these to their customers, again avoiding the research and development stages.

Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
