Why didn't Fordson adopt the PTO?

The John Deere Model Ds were about the same configuration as the Fordson Model Fs. Why did they not have a problem with going over backwards?

[James Peck] The October 2018 issue of Ageless Iron had an article about "Origins of the PTO". This claims the US bought IHC 15-30s, JD Ds, and Fordsons equipped with PTOs as part of a government program to eradicate the corn borer.

What is amazing that while IH and JD started offering PTOs as an option, Fordson lagged behind.
