The Never-Resting John Deere

If you search for a tractor to make an addition to your stock – John Deere should always be your first option. John Deere products are always perceived as trustworthy and reliable, not to mention their effectiveness and productivity. No wonder that “nothing runs like a Deere” has become a coined phrase not only in the world of farming, but also in everyday life and pop culture.

Deere & Company was established in 1837 by John Deere – a young blacksmith from Vermont. It all started with a simple steel plough he invented to make the work on a field more efficient. The instant success of this invention triggered the high-speed growth of the company, which soon started developing other products, like for example Gilpin Sulky Plow in 1871 that for the first time allowed the farmer to be seated while working on a farm – this invention is considered as the greatest success of the company in the 19th century. The first tractor produced under the company’s name entered the market in 1923 and was in production for nearly 30 years, which only proves how big a success it was.

John Deere never stops developing. It has been almost a century since their first tractor and so far John Deere can really boast about a spectacular range of products in its offer. So far there are approximately 451 various models of agricultural tractors John Deere put on the market, plus 38 backhoe-loaders, 8 Waterloo Boy machines, 31 industrial and 38 Lanz tractors. That is seriously a lot to choose from. And it seems John Deere does not plan to rest on its laurels, as almost every year a new piece of inventory is released.

Kubota Tractor To Consider


Kubota machines have been around for quite some time now, as the company was first established in 1890. This Japan based company specializes in production of heavy duty machinery, but is probably most known for their tractors. The production is not only limited to Japan, though. Kubota Tractor Corporation started exporting their products to the United States, which turned out to be an extremely successful move. In 1972 Kubota Tractor Corporation was established in USA and soon after that similar Kubota owned companies were formed in Canada, Australia, France, Poland, Germany, the United Kingdom and France. Since then Kubota has been gaining more and more recognition all around the world and their vehicles can be spotted on fields and farms most anywhere.

One of Kubota tractors worth mentioning is Kubota M7040. This medium-sized utility tractor comes in seven different variants that vary as far as cab and chassis is considered. All are equipped with Kubota 3.3L 4-cyl diesel engine with the power of 71 hp and front-end loader and all are thought of as really solid and trustworthy machines. As all Kubota products are.

John Deere 4520 – the one then, the one now

John Deere machines have come a long way since the first steel plow invented by the founder of the company who gave his name to this spectacular mark. It did not take much time for the company to become one of the most successful manufacturers of machinery all over the world. And it is no exaggeration to say that Deere produces legends.
Let’s take a look for example at John Deere 4520. It is not the only case where two machines go by the same name. The first model of 4520, a farm/agricultural tractor was produced from 1969 to 1970 and was a huge success back then. Of course, reality changes and many of then-innovations are simply outdated nowadays. The new version of Compact Utility Tractor John Deere 4520 entered the market in 2005 and its popularity has been growing rapidly ever since. It is definitely not a later version of 1969 model – it’s a completely new machine that poses absolutely no such problems as the previous one. New John Deere 4520 is strong, durable and reliable and for sure worth considering when we’re looking for a new addition to our farm.
