In theory the 2 plus 2's were a good idea but should have not been released till some of the problems they had were solved. I think they were reacting to the success of the White 4-150 and 4-180 tractors by releasing them when they did. I think the separation of the ag division was inevitable as increasing numbers of management had no tie to IH's ag past and honestly thought the future rested with other ventures outside of agriculture.

I don't know that IH was "trying too hard" to keep with Deere when the 60 series was released. I can remember dealers who had significant contacts in IH corporate saying a fair number of people were in favor of a new from the ground up tractor (like Deere with the 3010/4010 tractors) after the 50 series but management was content with just upgrading the 50 series and IH's finances were not exactly a help either though they wound up having developed the 06 series on not much better terms on a crash program.
