A History of John Deere Two Cylinder Tractors
We welcome our fellow John Deere Enthusiasts to our tribute to the
Long Green Line of John Deere Two Cylinder Tractors
Deere & Company
In 1837 John Deere, a Vermont blacksmith had a dream.
Moving west to Grand Detour Illinois John Deere fashioned a
plow from a broken steel saw blade that could cut through the
tough mid-western soil better than the old cast-iron plows.
In 1848, Deere moved his company to Moline, Ill.
John Deere turned the company over to his youngest son, Charles,
in 1858. In 1868, Deere's business was incorporated under
the Deere & Company name.
By the early 20th century the company had branched out into
other products, including corn and cotton planters. In 1911,
Deere bought six farm equipment companies, broadening its
product line.
In 1918, Deere & Company bought the Waterloo Gasoline
Engine Co., and with it the beginning of a new era which would
make John Deere become the number one maker
or tractors in the world.
Why are John Deere tractors green and yellow?
No one really knows. Some like to think the color combination
symbolizes the colors of corn - green for the stalks and yellow
for the ears. The earliest color illustration of Deere equipment
with the green and yellow color scheme is of a Deere sulky
plow in the 1905 Deere & Webber catalog.
