I agree with much of what's been said. Even though they're interesting, I just can't see how the 2 cylinder JD is much of a tractor. And didn't they make that inferior design for 40 years? The engine may be durable but they are MURDER on pto/belt driven equipment with their off center pto and rough running engines. Not to mention the vibration to the operator. I was at a tractor show a month ago. The threshing crew was trying all sorts of tractors on the belt. When they took a 2 cylinder JD off and put on an Allis WD45 I overheard the guys talking about how much smoother the machine was running. I think the novelty of the two cylinder Popper will always be a hot item at shows and parades but really aren't very practical for all-around farm use. Thus they are typically highly polished but little used. I am not particularly a IH fan but I think you folks have an awful lot to be proud of in your letter series tractors and many other series. Their high production numbers and continued heavy use of them to date unlike their Green counterparts, speak for themselves. Does JD have any production numbers that can compare to the H and M?
