In the 80's the others had failed or would fail due to declining sales. The demand for tractor dewindled as there were less small farms and fewer large farms, so where a manufactor was selling 100,000 tractors a year drop to 5000 a year. So from the 80's on,, the other competition dropped to almost nil in the big tractor market, the dealers went under or become multiple tractor dealers, compact jap junk showed up everywhere and jd was bout the only one left selling big.. good large ih and fords are rare if not plumb wore out and if not worn out, the owners are hanging on to them as they cant be replaced. so now jd leads, then it new holland, then caseih and then massey with kubota in the the mix somewhere iirc... I believe kubota will be number 2 before long and probably number 1 as they will sell more small tractors in numbers than jd sells big ones...jd small tractors are not the best sellers out there. my 1 cent worth.
