Like someone posted below. John Deere was one of the leaders in ergonomics and operator comfort beginning with the 30 series 2 cylinders and more with the New Generation 10 series and personal posture seat and operator station. Then John Deere left the competition reeling to catch up when the Generation II tractors came out in 1972 with Sound Body and Sound Guard cabs and more operator comfort in other machines and combines as well. JD may not have had the first corn header to harvest the whole corn plant but they did lay claim to the first successfully "marketed" corn header attachment on a self propelled combine with the model 45 and No. 10 corn head in 53 and 54. Gleaner had a corn head then right after but on drag type combine and then later a self propelled. JD made some of the first successfully marketed 3 point "quick hitches" in the 60s that others later copied. JD has stayed successful while the others are always reeling to stay and merging constantly.
