John Deere Model A

Deere & Company built the John Deere Model A to directly compete with McCormick's Farmall tractors. It was a very popular tractor that used Deere & Company's famous two cylinder design. Early tractors burnt distillate, and became a main selling point because of its low price. Deere & Company's two cylinder design made a very distinctive sound giving them the nickname "Johnny Poppers"
