Why was Deere last with a rotary?
Because their walkers would do equal or better job of threshing in more conditions than the rotaries on the market during the 70s and 80s....
UNTIL
CaseIH put enough horsepower on the 2388 to beat or clearly outcut a 9600. Lack of horsepower kept the walkers in play.
At least that is the way it looks to me in 20/20 hindsight.
