<br>
I don’t have time to research this very far, but did find this snippet on WikiPedia for the brand of tractors I know best - I used to work for the Fiat tractor distributor in New Zealand back in the 1970s-80s<br>
<br>
In 1977, Fiat's output since its origins exceeded 1,200,000 tractors.[28]<br>
<br>
Their origin was 1919, so in 58 years they built 1,200,000 tractors. that is 1/833th of a billion.<br>
