John <\/strong>Deere<\/strong> tractors<\/strong> are <\/strong>green<\/strong> as they have been since they started producing tractors in 1918 as the <\/strong>company<\/strong> has always been associated with the fresh <\/strong>color<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n John Deere began producing tractors in 1918 after buying out a tractor manufacturer known as the Waterloo Engine Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the time, John Deere traded under the company name of Deere and Company. They were producing agricultural equipment for farmers after engineering a unique steel plow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deere entered the tractor business in 1918, releasing two models, one called The Waterloo<\/strong> Boy<\/strong> and the second tractor called The John <\/strong>Deere<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They produced these tractors in green as it was both the color of John Deere’s agricultural equipment that they were making and the tractors from Waterloo Engine Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s hard to say with certainty why John Deere settled on the green and yellow colors initially. Perhaps it was to stand out from their competitors, such as Massey Ferguson or Case IH. They were predominantly red at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWaterloo Boy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
