Interesting thoughts in the AC thread but some confusion, too. Does innovation always lead to increased market share hence "success." Case in point the MM UDLX. MM pioneered in the industry with an enclosed cab but that really did not impact MM's market share in tractors except maybe to a very very small degree. Deere did not pioneer the full Power Shift transmission but rather developed a highly reliable product and made sure it was offered in important horsepower sizes. Deere capitalized on PS far more than Ford did who pioneered that product and did eventually work out the bugs. Ford's largest successes were the N series tractors which offered one certain innovation in a three point hitch but lagged in terms of engine design (valve in block) and transmission (3 speed versus 5 with IH the industry leader). Ford introduced the 9N at 595 dollars which was considerably cheaper than a Farmall H in 1939. How many farmers were influenced by the innovation and how many were influenced by a rock bottom price for a tractor that would pull 2-14's in quite a few soils?
