Why are JCBs yellow, same reasoning
high visibility?
Pr more likely it's the colour our reptilian overlords find most appealing -_-
I'm curious.....

They are for transporting farming fluids, waste, oil etc.
Obviously I am just joking, and I wanted to see how far I could take this.
There is definitely a Massey Ferguson one down the road. I'm going to see what manufacturer they all are next time I'm out.......

Castiel finds a new hobby, tractor spotting.
Good point, can't see many farmers being prepared to pay for their tractors to be painted in metallic gold
its a pitty the oil rich countries generally dont produce crops or we might see some chrome/gold plated tractors..
now that would be ironic

I was more hinting at the notion that it's just their brand colour over anything else
If it was for high visibility then forklifts etc would all be yellow which they are not! Ours at work is dark orange but it is of the Swiss variety!
Noooooo...don't do that, I work for Caterpillar UK, transmission division, and some of our gearboxes go into JD equipment.

Hahaha, everyone outside my office is now looking at me strangely wondering why I am listening to the Wurzels.......lol
It's not a monopoly just because the most of the farmers choose to use John Deere tractors....

Sorry for stymying your fun there. I did wonder if you were joking but sometimes on here it pays to be certain.

As has already been stated tractor brands use set colour schemes as a form of advertising.
This is so people going past a field where one is working can tell at a distance what brand of tractor it is, much further away than they can see name painted on it.
If they see a tractor or implement they particularly like the look of then they already know the brand to buy one.
It is usually the people who work on farms/ranches or live in the rural areas that get to know the colour schemes and since they are the ones buying the tractors it makes for a good form of advertising.
