Two things come to mind. First there was no JD equavilent of a SM Diesel. It would have been about a 65 or 650. A 60 or 620 was not enough, 70 or 720 too big (read expensive).

I actually ran a SMD with 3x16 trailer plow in a field with a 620 they were trying to sell us. Said it would do the same work as a SMD. I should have had a horn to get that Johnny Popper out of my way. No competion. The size choice was the JD dealers, not ours.

Second reason was the way they started. You had a whole nother engine on the JD diesels to fuss with. The SMD started on gas and switched to diesel. I would start in any weather a gas tractor would.
