you have to be extremely, super committed to owning anything that is John Deere.

On what do you base that? Deere seems to build equipment that is as reliable as any manufacturers that are out there. As far as I know the Deere machines ride as good as any out there.

Is the statement made thinking that Deere is going to be bought by some other company, have their name changed, or drop the Deere green color that is so synonymous with agriculture?

Most of the sales reports indicate that by and large the Deere line maintains its value as well as any manufacturers lineup, a lot better than some.

Is your statement based on the fact that Deere is the only ag manufacturer in the states with a pure unbroken heritage from inception to current date?

Deere does have some problems from time to time, but they've always corrected them for us anyway. I'd tend to think others have design and manufacturing hiccups from time to time as well, maybe they don't.

Again, please explain the premise and intent of the above phrase, I'm extremely curious now!
