I firmly believe its because these companies are being run by a bunch of know it all brats who have never heard of a JD 7520 much less seen one or run one. If it didn't happen in their lifetime (which isn't very long), then it doesn't exist.
CaseIH used a different approach. They name everything first with a bunch of gibberish lettering before the number to confuse you. You now have to know what "family" your tractor belongs to. And they use lots of Xs and Ms and Ss over and over to really twist your tail. Then they apply the same lettering to their seeding, tillage, skid loaders, construction and on and on. They have the MX, MXM, JX, DX, STX, SDX, XT, RBX, CS, CTL, ADX, ATX, DXE, JXC, JXU, SRX and more plus all the names that are supposed to mean something yet besides. Magnum, Maxxum, Maxxima, Maxxum Pro, Steiger Series, Puma Series, Farmall Series and I'm just getting started.
Back when it was JICase, they had a 430,530,630,730,830,930 and 1030. Now that was a "family" of tractors and no confusion over which one was little and which one was big! And out of seven tractors, one of them was just the right size for your farm and could be configured to do anything be it vegetable, orchard, grove, utility, industrial, construction, highcrop, rowcrop or wheatland.
