Obsolete and still outselling a LOT of it's "modern" competitors. The "D" was popular until the end of production and to quote J.R. Hobbs, was a "known quantity". Farmers knew what it could do and knew it's legendary reputation for reliability. Many of the later ones were also exported to countries where they would have been state of the art, compared to farming with livestock. The tooling had also been paid off long before so it didn't cost Deere beans to build them. Until you've had the experience of actually running a "D" in the field doing the job it was built for - plowing - you really can't understand just how neat of a machine they are. Since Deere managed to sell well over 100,000 of them, a lot of farmers agreed.
