In years gone by, Deere did try to break into the 18 wheeler market, and also the Class A motor home market, but their efforts didn't pay off. That market seems to be dominated by Detroit Diesel and Cummins, and other wanna-bees. Notice also Caterpillar has left the 18-wheeler market.

Deere has always built good engines, but that doesn't mean as a corporation they can be in all markets. MikeS.
