One of the oldest Companies that makes tractors. The brand has become
immortalized by Kids and farmers. John Deere started making tractors in the 1920's when they
bought out the
Waterloo Tractor Company.
Until the '60's they were known in the US for the "Putt-Putting" of their two-cyilender engines. They finally had to drop the Two-cyilender design for the engines to be more efficent and powerful.
John Deere may be famous for it's agriculteral equipment, but they also have a line of Construction equipment.
Interestingly, John Deere has not merged with anyone else, making it one of the only two to not have been taken over by another company. It walks alongside Caterpillar with this title.
