[QUOTE="Waldershrek, post: 793160, member: 14858"] So in my usual browsing of several tractor related places and magazines I came across a International magazine that had an article about how International was pretty much ran into the ground by poor management and trying to be into too many things at once. Obviously when this all occurred I was very young and don't remember it. Seems a lot of IH fans were heartbroken about it because by most accounts IH had cutting edge stuff and employed a lot of people but got beat by themselves. It also seems they harbor a lot of hate towards John Deere and it's fans who in their eyes got the edge on IH with inferior products but better advertising and gimmicks. I found this book on the subject and it looked interesting: [url]http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Corporate-Tragedy/Barbara-Marsh/p/9780385192095[/url] Anybody ever read it? Any guys on here remember it first hand? I was always raised around JD stuff but I certainly appreciate the effect the IH company had on agriculture. [/QUOTE]
