mostly because they copied others designs. other companies went through the research and development of a product and Deere come along made a few changes to avoid patent rights, painted it green and sold it. classic examples are the rotary combine and the QuadTrac 4 tract 4wd tractor design. and yes I said made a few changes most if which were not for the better of the design. there are more examples of this over the years as mentioned in earlier posts about garden tractors they came out with one years after someone else did. they also took advantage of the little guy like they did with Kinze when they made an agreement with him in the 1980's and soom backed out of their side leaving him hanging, but Kinze sued and won read all about this in the book "Fifty Years of Disruptive Innovation Kinze Book" Another way was directly buying products from other companies and painting them green marking up the price and selling these to their customers, again avoiding the research and development stages. A lot of times later coming out with their own similar product my example is based on the 787 air seeder air delivery system it is a flexicoil 2320 painted green. yes they came with their own the 1900 cart later but it shares a lot of the common designs they stole from fleicoil after using their for years.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
