The deere post below got me wondering why we are loyal to cartain brands of tractors.
There are 2 nice dairy operations north of me, owned by the same family (cousins). One is completely red and one is completely green. They are both great farmers who do a good job. I was talking to one and kidding him if there was some sort of family fued in the past that caused them to have 2 different brands of tractors. What he told me was interesting. Back in the late 40"s early 50"s the 2 sons were starting out farming and their dad (the current farmers grandpa) bought them each a new john deere B. Only one showed up at the dealership, so he walked across the street and bought a new farmall H. He already was having the B brought to one farm so he had the H brought to the other.
Thats how it all started, so 60 years and 2 generations later it still holds true.
Just wondering how many of you have the same generational history with your tractors?
Also, how many have gotten their first tractor and stuck with that color through the years?
