Klone: I've been kicking around planet earth now close to 63 years. Farmed a good bit of my life and had IH, JD, MF, Case and Cockshutt. I've yet to see what I consider would be a perfect tractor. If I look at the mainline companies around in 1960, and consider what they had to offer, I think each had at least one feature I liked. I will say this, IH and JD each had more than one feature I liked.

There is a saying that John Deere should be the best tractor as they've been most sucessful at using other companies good ideas. They never had any of their own. You think about it, Oliver used the first 6 cylinder engine in a farm tractor, Cockshutt had the first IPTO, Ferguson had first 3 point hitch, Ford had the first power shift. There you have it, 4 of the most important firsts and I never even mentioned IH or JD. That's not to say they didn't have good ideas.
