John Deere A History of the Tractor

These Limited Edition Leatherbound are signed by the author and hand numbered. A rare collectible for the true enthusiast!No tractor has achieved a more iconic status than John Deere. It's simple, two-cylinder tractors proved just the reliable, dependable tool the early 20th century American farmer needed to take the great leap from farming with animals to mechanized farming. Although a late comer to the motorized farming industry, today John Deere's two-cylinder tractors are the most sought after collector tractors in the world. Always a conservative company, John Deere stuck with its two-cylinder tractors into the middle part of the century, long after every other manufacturer had moved on to four- and six-cylinder tractors. Yet these simple, noble machines continued to serve their market. When John Deere entered the multi-cylinder fray, it did so with the most advanced, groundbreaking machines ever built - the New Generation tractors. These tractors set the trends for all subsequent tractor development through the latter half of the 20th century.

John Deere Battalion 608th Ordnance Base Armament Maintenance Battalion

<b>R</b><b>eferring to John Deere nowadays inevitably brings to mind the company that gave its name to the imposing tractors and other agricultural machines that we encounter on our roads or in our fields. Indeed, the leaping deer, famous emblem of the Deere & Company, whose headquarters is located in Moline, Illinois in the United States, now adorns agricultural equipment (tractors, combine harvesters, etc...) but also forestry and public works equipment in more than 28 countries around the world. The John Deere Company is proud to be one of the oldest American companies, founded in 1868 by John Deere in the small state of Vermont. Afterwards, the brand spread and reached Europe from 1956. What is less known is that during World War II, one of the most precious goods exported across the Atlantic by the company was highly skilled manpower. Thus was born, in August 1942, the 608th Ordnance Base Armament Maintenance Battalion, more commonly known as the John Deere Battalion. Ordnance being the branch in the US Army that supplies, tests, maintains, and repairs all vehicles and armaments. This book pays tribute to the men who worked, sometimes at the risk of their lives, for our freedom.</b>

JOHN DEERE CAPITAL CORP.: International Competitive Benchmarks and Financial Gap Analysis (Financial Performance Series)

Are the combined human resources at JOHN DEERE CAPITAL CORP. productive? There is no absolute answer to this question. This report considers the extent to which the company's labor deployment indicators differ from global benchmarks. In this report we consider forecasts of differences between labor ratios and the resulting return on this human investment compared to global benchmarks; the estimation of such differences is commonly called a "gap analysis." What is the ratio of short-term and long-term assets to employee? What are typical capital-labor ratios? How different are these ratios to companies serving the same link in the value chain? What are the average sales and net profits per employee compared to global benchmarks? These and over 50 other indicators of labor productivity are considered in this report. The report does so by going beyond traditional analyses by considering companies competing in the same or similar industrial classification at a global level. The goal of this report, therefore, is to assist consultants, human resource managers, strategic planners, and corporate officers in gauging estimates of a company's human resource indicators compared to firms competing or participating in the same economic sector, at the global level. This report is not about whether a particular company or industry has performed well or poorly in the past or will do so in the future. With the globalization of markets, greater foreign competition, and the reduction of entry barriers, it becomes all the more important to benchmark a company's human resource indicators against other firms on a worldwide basis. Doing so, however, is not an obvious task. First, one needs to find firms competing in the same sector, but not necessarily competing directly with the company in local markets. These firms should not be perceived, therefore, to be direct competitors to the company in question, but simply those that have been classified by various sources (e.g. EDGAR or similar
