Deere have used heavy marketing tactics in Europe to get a strong foothold especially when Massey Ferguson ,Claas, Fendt, Valtra and Challenger were being bought up by Agco and then there was the Case /Ford/NH merger and in Italy the Same, Deutz, Fahr, Lamborghini and Hurliman became SDF and then Landini started the McCormick range based on the old Internationals. Deere used a slogan/marketing tactic to ensure farmers that they still belonged to the same Company that had its roots in the small Blacksmith shop, So there was certainty in the product. They also hit it at the right time with the reliable 10 series tractors and thus got a real good foothold,sadly the product has been on a downward slope since as far as reliability is concerned,BUT it is still selling due mainly to some sort of religious belief that it is the product to be seen with, plus the marketing people have made everything green and yellow and brainwashed our youth into this way of thinking.
No matter how popular any of these brands of tractors are in any given area, Massey Ferguson still makes over half of the new tractors sold in the world today(outside Russia) and it has been this way for over 30 years now. This leaves everyone else to make the other half!!
I say outside Russia...A few years back the largest producer of tractors in the World was Belarus, not sure if it still that way but would you want to own one? .......Maybe it is because the dealers are too far apart to make them popular!!!!!!!!

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
