Artifact Overview
Deere & Company released the Model B tractor in 1935. The tractor's tricycle chassis and easy steering made the machine suitable for row-crop cultivation while its seat height gave farmers a clear view between rows of corn and soybeans. The adjustable wheel width accommodated mounted two-row corn pickers. Deere produced about 57,000 Model Bs through 1938 before introducing the "styled" Model B.
