Before they came with the 800 Windrower, Versatile had a windrower with a Ford water cooled engine and a hydrostatic.  In MN, Dakotas, and  Western Canada, Versatile was eating JD's lunch, as far as market share was concerned.  To counteract this, Deere came with the 800, with a water cooled engine and a price that Deere claimed they were losing money in manufacturing them.  JD got much better numbers as far as market share, after the 800 was put on the market. 


Its true there were not a lot of John Deere swathers around here until the 800 was introduced. Then they were everywhere. Versatile sold a whole lot of 400s at the same time but they only had the 3 wheel design until the 4400 came out later.
