According to the book "John Deere Tractors and Equipment volume 2" they did some expirementing with a heavy duty 6x6 truck with a modified 4630 engine and powershift transmission. It was designed to haul grain etc. out of fields, fertilizer in the spring and even do light tillage. It supposedly performed well but it was decided it would be too costly to build considering the likely limited sales. Face it most farmers use worn out beat up trucks for that sort of work. Have to agree with some of the posts below in that Deere seems to be more interested in marketing the name lately rather than building the quality farm equipment that pretty much put the others out of business. (naa! naa!)
