[AJD] how did JD survive?

[Louis]

During the depression, Deere extended credit to farmers.  When times were
tough, I heard that they didn't come and take away the equipment, because
the farmer couldn't pay for it.

I am curious about how JD survived in the "early" years.

Having owned a Farmall H which runs circles around all of my 2 cylinder 
tractors in ease of use and function, and today was driving a 1938 Case 
which was just as easy to use as the farmall.  Case hand clutch is 100 times

better than JD, a feather touch.  The case was easy to drive one handed 
seemed like power steering.  JD seems very crude in comparison.

Now please understand, I like my JD's but just how could anyone buy a JD 
with the "better" alternatives on the market?
