When it comes to pasture management and controlling weeds, there are a couple of different options available to you. Mowing is one option you may want to consider, especially if you’re looking to help control the spread of weeds. Spraying is another option you can try if you’re interested in a longer-lasting solution. Before you get your John Deere machinery ready to take on the pasture for your livestock, let’s take a closer look at these two specific options for pasture management and how they can help you with controlling weeds.

When you’re on the hunt for the perfect John Deere equipment for clearing land, removing brush, and cleaning up a job site, you may want to consider a grapple. Scrap and rock grapples can handle a wide variety of tasks, ranging from disaster cleanup to general job site tidying.

All rock and scrap grapple models from John Deere are able to handle large loads and difficult materials. Rock grapples, in particular, have a welded-in serrated cutting edge that easily penetrates all ground conditions. Scrap grapples feature open side with bolt-on side plates, which allows for the easy grappling of material that is wider than the bucket. Additionally, a predrilled lip makes it simple to add a bolt-on replaceable cutting edge for longer wear life.

When looking back on John Deere history, it is clear that this company has consistently represented its vision of providing the best for its customers. To this day, every decision that is made at Deere links back to four core values: Integrity, Quality, Commitment, and Innovation.

While all of these values are equally important to the success of this company, innovation is a central factor in what has made John Deere stand out throughout the past century. By regularly introducing the latest technology into its manufacturing processes and products, this company has proven its willingness to adapt to change in order to help its customers across industries, especially agriculture.

When you need a motor grader to take on a large task, you know that you can turn to John Deere for the equipment you need. This is exactly what workers with the Butler County Highway Department of Missouri did when they needed to find a new way to efficiently manage 1,000 miles of gravel roads. Recently, the department was tasked with finding a way to maintain the roads despite the lack of precipitation in the area to aid with grading. It turned to the 770G Motor Grader from John Deere, and the rest was history. With a fleet of 10 motor graders, the workers were ready to tackle the task at hand.

Just because you don’t have a commercial lot doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a commercial-grade zero-turn mower from John Deere. The company has launched its new Z700 Series mowers for the residential market, bringing commercial quality and comfort to homeowners.

“Homeowners with large properties need durable, easy-to-use machines that also keep them comfortable throughout long mowing sessions,” said Kim Ridel, tactical marketing manager, John Deere. “The new Z700 Series hits the mark for these customers with commercial-grade construction, an integrated park brake, and an adjustable foot platform.”

Customers who are on the hunt for a wheeled feller buncher that can take on a large amount of work without slowing down may want to consider the John Deere 843L-II. Building off of its predecessor, the John Deere 843L-II packs even more power, with a capacity of 270 horsepower, and gross torque of 841 ft. – lb. Throughout the workday, there are no slowdowns with this machine.

John Deere Davenport Works manufactures construction and forestry equipment for customers who work on some of the world’s toughest terrains, and the John Deere 843L-II is one of the machines they produce.

Several John Deere attractions have announced they will be hosting several special events throughout the year, specifically designed to entertain family members of all ages. More importantly, these events are free and open to the public.

John Deere has announced that it has redesigned the N500C Series Air Drills for 2019, bringing even more features into the mix to make daily tasks easier for operators. The air drills now integrate the latest in seeding technology, including the new ProSeries Openers to provide small grain producers with the most accurate smart seeding tools on the market.

“Easier meter access, improved seeding accuracy and increased capacity with less compaction were the most common requests we heard from customers,” said Ryan Hough, marketing manager for John Deere Seeding. “The N500C Air Drill was designed to give operators much easier meter access, and the latest in integrated technology for improved seed placement accuracy, control, and confidence, to help them do the best seeding job possible for cereals, canola, soybeans and other crops.”

John Deere has a strong relationship with the PGA Tour, and for good reason. With John Deere golf quipment, the PGA Tour is able to ensure that its fairways, roughs, and greens are all properly maintained out on the course for the world’s best players. “This sponsorship has significant impact in many important areas for John Deere,” said James Field, president, Worldwide Agriculture and Turf Division. “The agreement helps our company sell equipment, build relationships with customers and dealers, and promote the John Deere brand worldwide.”
