John Deere inventor, Rutland

My Dad still owns and rides the John Deere tractor he bought in 1972! Nothing runs like a Deere!

I want to thank both of you Fine Vermonters for everything that you've added to this thread. That is exactly what I had hoped would happen when I present a Finest State.

I am convinced that I must experience Vermont for myself someday. Spotlighting your state was a pure pleasure.

You see 'em in the all the *true* Vermont parades, which include antique tractors. 1972 wouldn't even count as antique! Deere's last.
