The comment about no 40 year old Deeres still working is absolutely absurd. Maybe in Rons imaginary world there might not be any, but there's still LOTS of 40, 50, 60, 70, ect, year old Deeres still working everywhere. I know of a few Olivers still pulling manure spreaders, or hay wagons, but you won't see too many actually doing heavy field work, because....They quit building them LONG before they ever got big enough to do todays kind of farming. Small "hobby farms" can still use them, as well as a few small struggling production farms, but for the most part, they just went away with the modern era of farming.
When Agco started claiming names for their "generic tractors with names from the past" they had the sence to skip right over the Oliver name.
I'm real sorry to see Ron making up stories as he goes along, but that's what's happening. You won't find any Deere owners anywhere that will tell you that Oliver made a better tractor than Deere....Completely rediculous...
I'm glad he found a tractor he likes. His Oliver is probably enough to move snow off of a driveway. Like I said, I need more than a lawn tractor for what I do.
The fantasy story about the alternator on a Deere being 10 times the price of a COMPARABLE Oliver is NUTS. I'm sure the alternator in question is 10 times less output than the one he's talking about. I wasn't born yesterday. I've been working with ALL BRANDS of tractors for my entire life. He's not fooling me one bit. John
