Certainly many of the then 30 or more year old tractors were already gone. So numbers originally produced by 1960 would be higher, call the total 6 million. The annual production peaked in 1951, just over 600 thousand. It dropped off sharply after that. I doubt that as many have been built in the 60 years since 1960 as in the 60 years prior. Call it another 4 million. That puts total US production in the range of 10 million. </span></p></div><div><p class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; color: black;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; color: black;">What about the rest of the world? Maybe as many more as the US built? If so, that would put total world production around 20 million. That has to be about the right order of magnitude. Adding in garden tractors, and even deciding what a garden tractor is will make a big difference. </span></p></div><div><p class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; color: black;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; color: black;">Jim Becker </span></p></div><div><div><div><p class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; color: black;"> </span></p></div><div><div><p class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; color: black;">From:</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; color: black;"> Indiana Robinson </span></p></div><div><p class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; color: black;">Sent:</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; color: black;"> Sunday, March 29, 2020 8:14 AM </span></p></div><div><p class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; color: black;">To:</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; color: black;"> <a href="mailto:at@lists.antique-tractor.com">at@lists.antique-tractor.com</a> </span></p></div><div><p class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; color: black;">Subject:</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; color: black;"> [AT] Better build a bigger shed </span></p></div></div></div><div><p class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; color: black;"> </span></p></div></div><div><div><p class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; color: black;">Speaking of a billion tractors...

Parts of the world do a lot of farming with larger two wheel tractors. </span></p><div><p class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; color: black;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; color: black;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; color: black;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; color: black;">. </span></p><div><p class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; color: black;">-- </span></p><div><div><div><p class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; color: black;">-- <br><br>Francis Robinson<br>aka "farmer"<br>Central Indiana USA<br><a href="mailto:robinson46176@gmail.com">robinson46176@gmail.com</a><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> </span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"><hr width="100%" size="2" align="center"></div><p class="ox-fb4e1adafb-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; color: black;">_______________________________________________<br>AT mailing list<br><a href="mailto:AT@lists.antique-tractor.com">AT@lists.antique-tractor.com</a><br><a href="http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com">http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com</a> </span></p></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p class="default-style"><br> </p><blockquote type="cite">_______________________________________________ <br>AT mailing list <br>AT@lists.antique-tractor.com <br>http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com <br></blockquote><p class="default-style"><br> </p></body></html>
