Not to JD as far 3 pts. went. How many of these older JD's with 3 pts. are still around? Did they have draft control or just lift up? Fords were the number two selling tractor world wide for many years. Right up until they they sold out, I believe. There are 3pt. hitches and then there is the advanced Ferguson system that came out on the 100 series MF tractors. For controlling mounted implements, there is no better system. "JD and almost every other manufacturer equipped their machines with a 3 pt. hitch". They pretty much had to if they wanted to sell lower HP tractors. JD makes a good tractor but world wide they aren't near as popular as they are in N. America. The MF 35 is the most copied tractor in the world. Check with auction companies, 35's and 135's are the most sought after used tractors. There's companies in the UK that buy 135's to completely restore to new condition and then sell for a premium price to small farmers. There is a demand for them because they are legendary tractors. JD never set any sales records for lower HP tractors, even after they put a version of a 3 pt. on theirs. I'm not sure if they set any tractor sales records. They might have in a higher HP model but overall, I don't think they've ever been the best sellers world wide. North America yes, but just like the Aim Trimark commercials, the world doesn't comprise of only one country. The world wide market is much bigger than just the N. American market. It's kind of weird how different brands are popular in different areas. Dave

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
