John Deere Classic Cars for Sale

John Deere, also known as Deere & Company, was founded in 1837 by the inventor and industrialist of the same name. Over the years, John Deere has utilized its origin in plow manufacturing to establish a worldwide leading position in the production of agricultural, construction, and forestry machinery.

John Deere's Start as a Plow Manufacturer

Following its foundation, John Deere initially focused on plow manufacturing. In the search for a solution to the tough cultivation of the Midwest soil with existing plows, Deere designed a plow that was better suited for the task. His "Singing Plow" was an instant success and served as a starting point for the company to expand its product range and diversify into other areas of agricultural equipment production. In 1918, the company began producing tractors.
