It's been a long time since the bank foreclosed on my boyhood farming days, and I have been as far away from tractor news as possible ever since.

Is nobody else making tractors anymore?

I remember John Deere tractors being the very cream of the crop: are they still well-made and revered for it?

What a weird world. We would have been incredulous to be told that one day we wouldn't be able to repair our tractors without computers. That was back in the TRS-80 era, for reference...



"Tractor" is something of a loaded term, implying simplicity and so on. It sounds like some of the products JD makes today could be more accurately thought of as "Robot Tractors".


Robot tractors and harvesters the size of a house.
