Why did J I Case fail to be number 1 in sales ? They were better then all others but John Deere had better marketing and IHC In Hell Constantly that convinced Tenneco to bail the bankrupt company to continue.
Tenneco bought IH AG unit. They did not 'bail out' IH. The larger portion of IH went through bankruptcy and continued as Navistar. J.I. Case in the early Seventies decided to concentrate on their construction equipment, which was more profitable than ag. Case did not have the production volume that JD had, or IH. Even if they had better marketing and more dealers, I doubt they would have had the facilities to meet the greater demand.
I grew up on a farm where we had both JD and Case tractors. My dad owned a ‘67 930 Comfort King and a ‘ 72 3020 and 4020 JD. The difference in brakes was the biggest downfall to the Case tractor. We pulled a 20’ mounted anhydrous ammonia applicator with a nurse tank in tow. Turning at the field ends was tough with the Case and a lot simpler with the JD. The turning brakes made the difference. Other than that the Case was a well built and economical tractor.
Thank you so much !

@@jti2007 The 4020 did have good wet brakes!
Yet they were the most stable brand back then, every other manufacturer was bankrupt, other then John Deere.
@@LanceStoddardohhhh, that’s why case didn’t make any combines in the 70s.
