I agree with you j meyer, when the American built row crop changed from steping on drawbar to get on the tractor to mounting ahead of rear wheel, the industry created the modern day tractor. Henry Ford and Harry Ferguson did have a few items right. Their idea just had to be added to tractors with some size. All the mainline manufacturers of farm tractors brought in some real good ideas. The interesting part in all of this, is the one company that really never had a first good idea, adopted everyone else's good ideas and went on to become the most financially sucessful farm equipment manufacturer. In the 1950s I always said that if you could blend all makes of tractors into one using each manufacturers best idea, one would have had the ultimate tractor. From then until mid 1980s that did happen and today we farm with the best ideas of all 1950s manufacturers.
