9620 Tractor / John Deere / When blacksmith John Deere invented the "self-polishing" / plow in 1837 to help farmers cultivate the sticky Midwestern / soil, he could not have imagined the amazing machines that / would one day bear his name. While farms and equipment / got bigger, the soil remained the same--challenging. And John / Deere has always known how to rise to a challenge. / Weighing over 36,000 pounds, the new 9620 is the largest tractor / ever built by John Deere. It is designed with four-wheel drive and / 500 horsepower to keep the farmer going even in tough conditions... / because what matters to farmers today is the same things that / mattered over 150 years ago--getting the job done. / JOHN DEERE / LICENSED PRODUCT / For decorative use only. Not for children under 8. / Concu a des fins decoratives seulement. Ne convient pas aux enfants de moins de 8 ans. / DIE-CAST METAL -- DATED 2006
