Okay I don't want to start a war or anything but I was thinking about what major advances in farm machinery John Deere has been first at since they started building tractors. For example JD has only released a rotary style combine here in the past ten years, while New Holland and International have been making them since the 70's. I'm leaning toward a powershift transmission but I don't know if that came out in the 20 series in 1964 or the 10 series in 1961. If it was the 20 series then they'd be tied with Oliver, they released the 50 series tractors in '64 with the Over/Under option. And don't forget using two-cylinder tractors up until 1960, long after every other major manufacturer had released four cylinder and some sixes. Don't get me wrong I think that they've made a lot of good products over the years, but I'd like to know of something that they'd come out with first.
