Well, it's no secret in the ag internet circles that I'm no fan of Deere, and I don't typically get on here and constantly bash your green machines (maybe just a little jab every now and again!). But you have to realize that it is true that Deere has the largest market share of any make and that in itself is an invitation for criticism and such. Kinda like playing "King of the Mountain" on a big pile of snow as a kid - everyone tries to knock off the big guy that's on the top of the mound. This, to me, is like that big kid up there whining that everyone is out to get him! This may seem harsh, and don't take it personally, but there's only one thing worse than a sore looser and that's a sore winner. Sorry! T. langan
