Deere said the government mandated going to metrics and we service guys were told to get used to it. It is the coming thing, they said, like it or not.Of course you have to remember Deere equipment was built almost exclusively in the U. S. (except for a few pieces of equipment in Canada) at that time. Deere also exported a lot of equipment back then and that wasn't received too well by the importing countries. I always figured that was the real reason because Deere knew metrics pi$$ed American farmers off big time. It still does me to this day.Like most things,it was all about money.
Guess it worked out for Deere and everybody else since a lot more equipment is now IMPORTED !Thanks to UAW and John Deere.
