John Deere tractors, with their highly recognizable green and yellow iconic design, remain a prolific force within the agricultural industry.

Around 1837, John Deere noticed the frustration farmers experienced with cast-iron plows that broke as they tried to work tough Midwestern soil. He developed a blade made from steel that functioned much more effectively. Having moved to Moline, Ill., in 1848, John Deere quickly made a name for himself with his product. By the 1900s, John Deere tractors were selling impressively.

Today, John Deere tractors continue to work the earth, remaining one of the most popular pieces of equipment in the agricultural industry. Consumers can locate and order used John Deere tractors and John Deere tractor parts through places such as the Equipment Locator Service.

And as with all things mechanical, repairs come with the territory. Again, locating John Deere tractor parts should not pose a problem as one can order them online and have them shipped.

The true tractor aficionado or history buff may be pleased to discover a variety of antique John Deere tractors exist, preserving a bit of this successful company's history. After all, Deere and Company has a rich history of models, some of which were available to the consumer public for only short periods of time.

Some examples of antique tractors include the Model L series, manufactured from 1937 to 1953. A unique tractor in the Deere and Company history is the Model M, which had a vertical two-cylinder engine as opposed to the more familiar horizontal engines. The company produced this model from 1947 to 1952.

Deere and Company still enjoys commercial success to this day, ensuring its tractors will continue to grace the agricultural landscape for years to come.
