This HAS to be true. The John Deere Marketing folks says it's so. And we ALL know they wouldn't try to trick us.
Take it from someone who's made a living with his tractors for near 40 years now. I've owned several new Deere tractors and lots of their implements. I've owned several other brands. Here's what I've learned on my own, WITHOUT falling victim to the sales propaganda from the guys in the add dept at Moline Illinois.
NO BRAND has an across the board lead in quality. SOME MODELS with-in individual brands have an advantage over some of their competition. To paint with broad strokes and say "Deere is known for making the highest quality tractors out there" is an instant loss of credibility with me. It's simply not true in broad general terms. They have their issues, they've produced their share of lemons.
Deere sells an image. They sell hype. Sure, they have a really good product in general, but from someone who's had the opportunity to own several brands and run them side by side, to think no one else has their equal in quality, craftsmanship, and value is a naive thought that just doesn't hold up to real world experience.
