    Jon seems like a rather selfless man. He farms because people need corn, he repowered tractors because farmers needed reliable tractors to produce corn, he keeps the business going because people rely on those jobs.
    I think western civilisation owes a lot to men who never thought they'd be rich but knew that people relied on their work.

      If you are referring to the fact that every row crop tractor today is based off the 8000 series John Deere, I stand by that 100%. If you look up the wasp waist design, you will see how that design, along with the cab layout is what all the row crop tractor designs have went to today. The first sketch is in the Smithsonian museum, so I would say it's significant. I don't understand how some of the John Deere haters get so triggered. If you have watched all these tractor stories you would see that I like most tractors. Once again, heaven forbid anybody say anything good about John Deere.........

      You didn't pay attention at all. I asked Jon about John Deere because it's never been asked why he chooses to farm with John Deere equipment when he has lots of history with legal battles with Deere. If you listened he talked why he bought Deere. We talked about IH, and then Case IH and the Magnum. You are apparently one of those people who can't stand Deere, and that's fine, but if you have watched any of my tractor stories you would see that I like all tractor brands. Instead, you are another just Internet hater. That's what the world needs......... As for my interview with Jon, I guess I should have told him to turn off the ventilation in his shop. Never mind he took the time out of his days to sit down and talk for hours. It was really an honor to talk to Jon, and people have really enjoyed the video.

    If you look up number built. John Deere built over 320,000 model A’s. I styled and styled are not separate models. Same tractor just updated. And the B John Deere was over 300,000 B’s built. So Jon’s statement is untrue that the H alone had higher numbers than the A and B combined. Over 620,000 models built far exceeded the 391,000 or so of the H. Less than total 691,000 of the two wet built of the H and M combined. So IH was already loosing there edge. Not to mention the 2 cylinder JD’s will last 3 to 4 times longer between rebuilds.
