Tractors increased the working capacity of farmers, which led to increasingly larger farms. Noting this trend, John Deere introduced the unstyled Model G in 1937. The Model G was the most powerful row-crop tractor John Deere had manufactured and could handle three 14-inch plow bottoms. In 1942, the Model G received the new John Deere styling, but World War II changed a lot of plans. The new tractor was designated as Model GM until 1947, when it was changed back to the Model G and remained the most powerful General Purpose tractor in the John Deere line until 1953.
