I always thought they could have developed and improved brakes, TA, IPTO and hitches much faster than they did. They might have put some of the money into R&D on those things rather than the millions they spent on that turbine tractor in 59. Last time I checked, no one is producing a turbine tractor close to 50 years later. I haven't any farmers screaming for the development of turbine tractors.
