Guy: Just to add a bit to your post, diversification at Deere was well underway by 1960. I bought one of their forestry skidders in 1975. At that time they had a complete line of backhoes, small dozers, articulated loaders, excavators, forestry skidders and harvesters. They also had a very well oiled dealer network in Eastern Canada any way.

Since that time they have added large dozers, road graders, large earth movers and off highway dump trucks. In fact I have seen opinions that Deere's push into heavy equipment has been the only very real competition Cat has had. This probably had as much to to do with Cat's expansion into Ag Equipment as any factor.
