Since the Sears-IH thread is about ready to fall off the first page I thought it would be good to start a related thread. The impression I get from that thread and other sources is during the 1960's and 1970's that nearly all ag equipment companies could only juggle so many balls at one time so to speak. Deere developed its New Generation of Power but had to skimp on the utility models at first. Deere also was working on a rotary combine design for the 55 combine platform but went away to do other projects. IH engineers laid the outline out for a powershift tractor presumably available by the early 1970's but IH management decided that the focus should be on developing a new combine which culminated with the Axial Flow in 1978. IH hay and forage got a serious face lift in the 1970's but it was fairly late. The power house IH dealers here such as Lamb and Webster plus Batavia Farm Equipment got NH because they could tell the IH blockman to pound salt because these dealers were very effective at moving tractors and other IH products. The smaller dealers who could move maybe a couple 766's and a 966 had to more or less take it or run the risk of losing the franchise.
