Description
It was not until 1918 that John Deere's company introduced a tractor. However, they started making implements for and even partnering first with steam engine manufacturers and then manufacturers of gasoline and kerosene tractors. This advertisement for a "gang plow" was like a row of four, five or six of Deere's original steel plows all connected together. As new companies emerged, Deere & Company had to adjust and adapt in order to provide the products that their customers wanted and remain competitive in the market.
