John Deere

Does anyone know anything about the QOL with Deere or know anyone who works there? What do they think about it?

Their Citation-X sports some hot "Yellow" rimmed wheels. Got a pic on my phone when I saw it on a ramp one day. I'm a farm-kid, so I at least appreciated it.

And on topic, I would think that the QOL would be great, obviously national company with interests everywhere, and I doubt they are just going to disappear any time soon

Who competes with John Deere in the tractor market? Ford? Caterpillar?

Caterpillar, Agco, Komatsu compete in either construction or agriculture--sometimes both.

Ford sold out it's tractor division in 1993.

I see. I didn't realize any of the major construction manufacturers had any kind of ag division, although I know JD makes light construction equipment.

I thought New Holland was still a division of Ford. We own one but I wasn't around when dad bought it in 2002...

Agco owns Massey Ferguseon and others.

Ford sold out to Fiat, but I think someone else owns New Holland now.

Very few compete with JD in an ag capacity, but Deere has strong competition in other areas of their business... I refer to the company that is well known for it's large yellow machines.
