What about the Quad-Range and Perma-Clutch? True, a quad is a synchrorange with a hydraulically-actuated two-speed in essence, but it was certainly head and shoulders above the TA. Deere was smart enough to make their two-speed hydraulically actuated, so it was either in or out, not mechanically actuated so it could be slipped excessively like the torque-amplifier. And the Sound-Gard is what made the 30-series revolutionary - no doubt about it. Instead of plopping a cab on an existing chassis - i.e. the IH 66 series, it was engineered into the total tractor package. And IH stuck with a dry clutch when clearly wet clutches were the wave of the future. How many 100+ horsepower tractors are built with dry clutches today? How many UNDER 100 hp for that matter? For 40 years? Yep, the same basic layout - front-mounted hydraulic pump, two tranny options continuously except for the 4840, 4850, 4955 and 4960 which were only available with powershift, same basic cab structure with continuous improvements to enhance comfort and performance, etc. But that 40 year-old platform sure sold good, didn't it? That's whay irks you IH boys more than anything. As good as you think IHs were, they weren't good enough.
