COVER PHOTOGRAPH
Good-natured prodding was ongoing between the
sales department and product engineering for years.
Sales typically wanted more tractor horsepower for customers,
while engineers were dealing with the concerns
of countless issues related to available materials,
processes, and manufacturing limitations. It was easier
to say “more power” than it was to pull it out of a hat,
but knowing that didn’t discourage the sales department
from asking.
When the 5020 was introduced, with buckets more
power than anything Deere had done up to that time
(the 8020 doesn’t count), the engineers presented the
sales manager with a special (touched-up) studio
photo. The impressive tractor had the right number (6,
as in cylinders), a racing stripe, and even boasted of its
531 cubic inches. |
