Hmmm, thats kinda weird. I thought Massey Ferguson was the top selling tractor brand worldwide. I even have evidence to prove it.

[edit]

This article reads like an advertising flyer. I will tag it as such. It needs to include less details about the types of tractors and their individual uses and more about the history of and the development of the tractor and its technology. As is, this article nearly merits deletion, every reference is the company website, hardly a good source. If it isn't fixed I will nominate it as such and it can be rewritten from scratch. I will try to assist in the fix. IvoShandor 12:37, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Logo green.gif

[edit]

Image:Logo green.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Merge

[edit]

This page really isn't much more than a list of available tractors...if it is not to be deleted, let's merge it. Jmlk17 09:22, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Before it was condensed to this list it was basically an advertisement, regardless of what the deletion discussion result was. I do think John Deere tractor, a redirect here, is an encyclopedic topic, but the article shouldn't be about the company's current product line, though some of that can be included. More about John Deere tractor history, use etc. These are important farm implements and have essentially achieved icon status in the Midwestern United States. Either we need to create a new article and merge some of this content there or simply merge any relevant information to Deere & Company, I think. IvoShandor 11:00, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edit

[edit]

OK, I'm a newbie here, however I'm not a newbie when it comes to tractors. After finding the John Deere Tractor page I felt I needed to update the page. The info that was posted really wasn’t all that helpful. I hope I didn’t do anything wrong with replacing most all of the info that was posted.Artiez 09:30, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is most excellent. :) As long as you provide references, see reliable sources, and Wikipedia verifiability policy for relevant information about sourcing. Keep up the good work, WP:CITE has some good info about citing sources too. This article was a disaster of advertising nonsense until an deletion debate resulted in it being blanked. This is an important topic, it needs ample coverage. Thanks. IvoShandor 09:57, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It is a lot better than before, but the "A New Generation of Tractors" title seems like it could be toned down a bit. I don't know a lot about tractors, but I clicked on this page to read about the ATVs they sell to the army. If you know anything about those, that would be great to add. John Deere gets tonnes of defense contracts and all that (and the resulting criticism) should be included as well. I don't know enough about this to write it myself though.Drizek 18:15, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First numbered tractors

[edit]

The list needs to include the 50 520 530, 60 620 630, etc tractors that fill the gap between the lettered and New Gen tractors. n2xjk 22:17, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The model 70 diesel appears to be missing as well. We have one of those. It is interesting in that you start it with a small gas engine, wrap it up to high revs, then engage the diesel engine to start it.

I've also noticed some spelling errors, such as 'then' when you want 'than'. -- Steve Schaper

New Generation of Power

[edit]

This subsection of the main article needs help. A lot of information has been added without paragraph breaks. It needs to be reorganized to improve readability. It also should have appropriate references added. n2xjk (talk) 23:57, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added references to the first two paragraphs of this section. n2xjk (talk) 02:13, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

[edit]

Why is an article titles as LIST of John Deere Tractors, formatted as great blocks of unreadable text ? The First few sections start off ok, but some could actually just be a bullet point list that has had the bullets removed when looked at closely. The New Generation powers sections is Just unreadable. Some of the Descriptive text about JD and the company history could be better used to build out the Deere & Co Article so it has a history, with this one Formatted as a list with short descriptions of the major models as per title.

Then some sections like WaterLoo Boy Having its own article along with other significant models. There must be enough books out there on JD tractors to get some references. The Deere & Co page looks more just corporate info as take out the 15 plus links to Deere.com xyz factory and there would be only half the article left. Strange articles all the JD ones, Little mention of the Industrial & construction machines at first glance. Looks too big a job to start now, may come back later when i've got all night to spend wading through it. Not big on JD Models and their History. And it looks like all 3 article need treating as one project BulldozerD11 (talk) 19:19, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no actual "list" of John Deer tractors here. What's needed is a list, with clickable links to specific article or specs on each model. Landroo (talk) 04:05, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

RE Write of sections

[edit]

On looking at this and attempting to sort it out it becomes more obvious this is built from cut & pasted material in some parts. with possible copy Vio looking at sources listed. I had previously broken into sections, and added speces after full stops that were missing to aid readability. Is chronological order the best format ? Comment please !!

On Moving to the Waterloo boy section it is complete mess with similar but different info appearing all out of order, 1/2 relating to Deering & co not the Waterloo boy. Have blanked most of section and rewritting it off line, and searching for clearer info / confirmation of facts. Some of this looks like its from a non English source or by somebody were English is the 2nd language. As my previous post above say there appears to be a mix-up between this list of models and company histories in the John Deere and the Deere & Company articles as well as this one.

Any comments re format or content please leave here - BulldozerD11 (talk) 02:07, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The title of this section is confusing? Did the editor mean "Right of"?

Maybe he/she was typing too fast.

X750 lawn tractor etc

[edit]

Editing an article on a potentially record-breaking lawn tractor ride I expected to link to the model here on this list but can't find anything like the X750. Does the list need an update? PamD 09:16, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Move all seperate articles about tractors into this one

[edit]

Why have every tractor have its own article and instead just move them all to here? It would make this article more detailed and also make navigating between models easier. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChiserYT (talkcontribs) 18:50, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
