Several years ago I was told by an old seasoned AC district sales manager that the D-21 was originally designed for the state of California to pull beachcoming equipment for their miles of beaches and that was their primary reason for their exsistance not to compete with JD's 5020 (not that would take much) like a lot of people presume.Anyone out there got any info on this?

Several years ago I was told by a seasoned drunk that Hill & Hill was good whiskey. Everyones got an opinion about something don't they. First off, if your guy thought those D-21's were called "Beachcomers" or even Beachcombers, he might have had a little too much HIll & Hill, or he wasn't a very knowledgable district sales manager. Beachmaster was the title AC hung on them. Now, it's purely my opinion, but, I feel the beach cleaning market was way too small, when compaired to the overall farm market, for AC or anyone else to design a whole new tractor around. After all, beach cleaning only required pulling slightly different equipment over slightly different ground that most other farming operations. I think it is 99% more likely that AC adapted a tractor to fill this small nitch than designing a whole knew on for it. Much like they had done in developing high-crop tractors and wheatland tractors and reversed tractors, all from existing models. Now the story about AC designing the G after studying the existing design of the comon grasshopper, there's one I'm more likely to swallow.
