John Deere did not invent tractors. He invented plows. John Deere as a company experimented with inventing their own tractor but ended up buying the Waterloo Boy Tractor Company instead. Few tractor experiments suceeded so instead they went the easy way out and bought an existing company.
John Deere, the founder of the John Deere company, is buried in Moline, Illinois, where the company's headquarters is located.
