The question farmers always argue about-- what is better Case IH or John Deere?

This question has been around for many years and will be around for many years to come. Some believe Case IH stands over John Deere, but others believe the opposite. Their are similarities and differences between Case IH and John Deere, but their seems to be more differences.

John Deere was formed in 1837 by a guy named John Deere. John Deere first produced just steel plows before later getting in the heavier equipment like tractors. According to Holder and Fraquhar, 1949 was a historical year for John Deere. John Deere released its first diesel tractor that year.

A merge of two companies in 1984 formed what is now know as Case-IH. In 1892 Case, which would later become Case-IH, released its first tractor. One of the earliest and most popular Case-IH tractor would be the 1494. It allowed the farmer to pick between four different speeds-- field, on-road, creep, and reverse. Powering the engine is a 3594cc diesel engine which made the tractor a dependable and versatile piece of equipment (20, 52, 55). Case-IH and John Deere have both been around for a long time and have made some very reliable equipment.

Some main differences between the two companies that are obvious are the colors, the numbers, and letters used to organize the equipment. People’s can see that John Deere is green, and Case-IH is red. As far as organizing the equipment into groups, they used different methods. John Deere says on the new John Deere tractors, there are six available positions. The first representing the size. The second, third, and fourth positions indicate the metric engine horsepower (John Deere). Case-IH used a little different system. IHMANN3388 says If the tractor, for example, was a model number 706. Then, it had 70 horsepower and 6 cylinders, or if it was a 1568 then it had 156 horsepower and 8 cylinders. This system was not used for all of their tractors but was used for most of them (www.redpowermagazine.com). Both companies use different methods of organizing; what method would farmers pick?

It is not all just differences. There is some similarities between the two companies. Both companies started little and have worked their way to huge expensive equipment. They have each had their turn at technology. “Case-IH” states that in 1995 Case IH came out with a new technology that allowed farmers to use satellite technology to monitor yields,which in return helped farmers get the best yields they could out of a crop (Case-IH). John Deere says they later came out with the Greenstar system in 1996. That system would give moisture reading and on-go-yields (John Deere). Secondly, they both use numbers and letters to categorize their equipment. They may not use the same method, but they both have a way of group equipment into categories.

There is similarities and differences between John Deere and Case-IH, but their seems to be more differences. They both make the same types of equipment, and both are very well-known throughout the world. A main difference between the two is Case-IH was a merged company, and John Deere has always stayed John Deere. People will argue all day back and forth who is the better company. Who would farmers pick Case-IH or John Deere?
