John Deere History

Practically everyone has heard of John Deere Tractors, the famous green workhorses that till our farms, haul our hay, move debris, seed fields and just about any other task you could possibly think of.  But did you know that the famous line of tractors began as a humble plow?



The company became a corporation known as Deere and Company.  They gradually absorbed six other farm equipment companies and began adding to their product line.  Eventually, the Deere company would release the Model M tractor in 1947 with more than 20 implements and Touch-O-matic hydraulics, saving time and muscle for tractor owners handling many farming chores at once.  Deere and Company had reached another historical milestone in farming history.

The John Deere Company also pioneered farming efficiency with their "Quik-Tatch" mechanism, enabling the driver of the tractor implements quickly.  Without leaving his seat, the driver can reach back and detach a plow, cultivator or other tool safely and easily.

A John Deere tractor can be recognized from a great distance just by the distinctive green and yellow colors.  You can travel to nearly any country around the globe and find John Deere tractors and other farm equipment.  There are collectors all over the world who buy John Deere clothing, models, die cast tractors and even jewelry! Parents can even buy their children miniature pedal-operated John Deere tractors.  The company now manufactures lawn mowers, leaf blowers and even construction equipment.



There is even a museum in Moline, Illinois, that exhibits early as well as modern examples of Deere tractors and implements, hands-on exhibits and a virtual factory tour. The museum also explores options for farm practices of the future and tells the history of farming since 1830.
