Deere thought the 420 was "too powerful" and so continued the 40 as the 320. It didn't sell well. Similar circumstance with the L, The H, the 4000, and frankly, the 2520 (25,000 versus 270,000 4020s, Adding the 2510 in, you only get 40,000 total for the 2510/2520). I'm sure Deere thought that the row crop utilities would fill that particular niche... Whether or not you think they were right is another discussion. [Reply]   [No Email]

They did offer features such as hi-lo and the direction reverser which would have required substantial redesign if incorporated into the Waterloo chassis. My thought is they could have increased market share substantially as the upgraded 20 series would have been the only tractor on the the market in the 60 to 70 hp range with an optional full power shift and ergonomically advanced cab for the time.   [Reply]  [No Email]
