Tis the season to grow your productivity! It’s that lovely time of year when snowstorms seem to takeover your entire construction worksite. But, this season, we’re helping you fight back. Don’t let snowstorms control your income this winter. Instead, stand up to the weather and continue piling up the profits with these John Deere snow removal attachments for the worksite.

There are numerous attachments that can help you get more productivity from construction machinery all-year-round. The John Deere Worksite Pro lineup includes several snow removal attachments that can easily hook up to your skid steer, compact track loader, loader, excavator or backhoe, helping you strengthen profits during harsh winter weather.

Deciding on the perfect piece of equipment to add to your fleet can be a daunting task. The region where the work is being done, business type, and application are all critical factors in the buying process. To alleviate some of the stress this process can bring upon decision makers, John Deere introduced a Product Selector Tool that originally focused on residential and commercial mowing equipment, as well as small tractors.

Since its introduction, the tool has become a helpful solution for those looking to make a purchase and Deere has added an additional product line to its functionality; nutrient application. To better illustrate how the John Deere Product Selector works, we’ve put together a step-by-step process as if we were going to purchase a nutrient applicator.

During the winter when you aren’t riding around the farm on your John Deere tractor, you might find yourself with a little extra free time. That being said, there are plenty of agricultural shows that you can put in your calendar to stay busy.

We’ve take the time to put together a list of 10 events that you won’t want to miss this off-season. Enjoy!

2015 Quad Cities Farm Equipment Show

When: January 18 – 20, 2015

Where: QCCA Expo Center, Rock Island, Ill.

It’s hard to believe 2014 is drawing to a close. Even though we’re focusing on what’s to come in the new year and how we can continue to improve upon the content and information on the MachineFinder blog, it’s equally important to look back and recognize the successes of 2014.

We want to thank all of our readers and fans for your support this year. Without your readership, social shares, and feedback, we wouldn’t be able to be where we are today. Here is a look at our top posts from 2014, with a brief statement for each as to why we believe they were successful.

Earlier this year, John Deere revealed a wide range of new products at a two-week dealer event in Milwaukee, Wis., that included significant upgrades to its agricultural equipment. With the New Year upon us, we wanted to take some time to shed light on the new 2015 John Deere tractors that have hit the market and improve the way that the industry does business.

6D/6R Series Upgrades

The 6D and 6R Series tractors have received significant updates that are sure to make farming easier and more productive throughout the year. The four 6D Series tractors (6105D, 6115D, 6130D and 6140D) will now come with two new transmissions: a 12/12 PowrReverser or optional 24/12 PowrReverser Hi/Lo. These new transmission options will allow users to change gears on the fly to accommodate varying terrain.

As crop producers know, not all tractor models are ideal for every crop scenario. Some crops, such as strawberries, broccoli, cauliflower, and more, call for equipment that will prevent physical damage and maintain their integrity prior to hitting the market. To help producers meet these needs, John Deere offers a couple different “Hi-Crop” tractor options.

Let’s take a closer look at two of the most recent John Deere Hi-Crop Tractor options (the 5100MH and 6150RH) and learn about some of the features that can help simplify life for those producers that require a little more lift on a daily basis.

Those looking to purchase a John Deere tractor in the mid-chassis compact utility tractor market often times look for a piece of equipment that is high-quality, powerful, easy-to-use and cost-efficient. Each of these value can be attributed to the John Deere 3320.

Serving as the ideal tractor for residential, commercial, governmental and agricultural users, the 3320 wraps convenience and power into one model, enabling 365 days of production. Let’s take a look at some of the 3320’s key features that make it a popular selection among those looking for a compact utility tractor.

You may be done harvesting your crops with your John Deere machinery, but it’s worth taking a look at your equipment to plan for the year ahead. A winter equipment inspection can extend the lifespan of your equipment and make sure that everything is ready to go next spring. Here are some of the services that John Deere dealers provide for your machinery over the winter.

Tractor Inspection

The John Deere tractor inspection service highlights any issues that may require fixing before the next farming season. Additionally, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that the professional is using genuine John Deere parts to keep your tractor running at peak performance. Certified technicians will ensure that nozzle capillaries are not worn out and verify that your fuel and air filters are not blocked.
