And then years later Deere developed their own line of tractors...oh, wait...

In 1912, Deere & Company began selling a tractor made by another company and in 1914, Joseph Dain was asked to determine the feasibility of building a light tractor capable of pulling a 3-bottom plow to be sold for $700.

...Despite the quality and usefulness demonstrated in the AWD tractor, its list price of $1,500 was still considered too high to be practical.

...Then, the company purchased the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company in Waterloo, Iowa, where the lower-priced Waterloo Boy Kerosene Burning Tractor could be built side-by-side with the AWD tractor. The Waterloo Boy tractor quickly became the company's workhorse.

This stuff's been goin' on long as there's been tractors.
