This rivalry has been going on since IH and John Deere became the dominate tractor makers, and it's an "All American" thing, I guess. But, I find it kinda hard to really blame John Deere for the troubles IH had which led to it's demise and the Tenneco buyout of the ag line. Yeah, it seems kinda stupid to put the Case name in front of the IH because all they make now has a lot more IH heritage in it. But the Case guys had their foot in the door first and dominated the leadership of the newly formed outfit when the merger into the Tenneco conglomerate occurred(I guess, from what I've read). Now it looks like John Deere is the big dog in a lot of ways, but they have troubles too, they are a "Public Company" with stockholders that don't give a rat's a-- about old traditions, rivalries, or any of that old sentimental crap like loyalty to a brand, or what our family always used, or this is ------ country. Money rules, and making it, lots of it, is what matters. So, it doesn't make sense to me to cut down the big dog's products all the time. If John Deere goes "belly up", will that bring back Dear 'Ol IH? I doubt it. And when you always mention your chief competitor, it gives them a lot of advertisement they don't have to pay for. Yeah, some John Deere people are pretty uppity about their stuff, that's natural, so are Yankee fans, but they can lose sometimes too, and life goes on. Let's just be sure America always leads, that's what is really important!
