Maintaining your John Deere equipment is essential to ensure it lasts for years to come. If you own a track tractor, the track belt might be one thing you have to mind along the way. Preconditioning new track belts can help you get more out of your John Deere track tractor over time, but what about routine maintenance? Here are a few video overviews of how to maintain the track belt and keep your machinery in working order.

Maximizing Track Belt Life – Part 1

To cater to customers who want a planter that can be quickly folded for transport, John Deere has rolled out the new 1745 MaxEmerge™ 5 Planter. This piece of equipment is specially designed for corn and soybean producers who are seeking a split-row configuration. Additionally, its simple design means it’s compatible with older tractors (95 drawbar horsepower) and up.

To meet the latest demands from producers who need more versatile utility tractors, John Deere has rolled out its 4M Heavy-Duty Tractors. The 4052M HD and 4066M HD are both designed to help customers seeking a more compact machine that can still deliver an ample amount of power.

“The 4M Heavy-Duty tractor was designed with versatility and ease of use in mind. With this unit we had three main objectives – increase visibility, provide industry-leading maneuverability and reduce downtime related to changing attachments,” said DeMark Cole, product marketing manager at John Deere. “With this tractor, we’ve achieved all of these objectives and we look forward to getting our customers in the seats.”

The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) is dedicated to recognizing the best in the industry in terms of product innovations each year with the AE50 Award. John Deere is one of the many companies that has been recognized in the past for its machinery, and this year, it has done it again – several pieces of John Deere equipment have been given the AE50 Award from the ASABE.

This year’s AE50 winners include a wide range of machines, systems, components, software, and services that have been recognized for their innovation, significant engineering advancement, and impact on their respective markets.

When you’re hard at work, the last thing you want to worry about is grain loss and poor grain quality. Unsurprisingly, John Deere has a solution to help producers manage this potential challenge – Combine Advisor™.

By eliminating some of the need to make manual adjustments on the fly, Combine Advisor helps boost the effectiveness of John Deere machinery. Let’s take a look at some of its features and how it can improve your operations.

For many, the cold weather and less than ideal weather conditions brought on by winter mean staying inside, which can bring about a sense of boredom. This doesn’t have to be the case for John Deere enthusiasts, though! This winter, the company will be attending a number of trade shows to demonstrate a range of equipment and technologies. In fact, this season of trade shows kicked off in early January when the company attended CES 2020 in Las Vegas, NV.

When you’re on the hunt for an air seeder that will take care of all of your seeding needs, you know you can turn to John Deere for the right piece of equipment. But what does an air seeder do?

When John Deere isn’t rolling out new product updates and agricultural equipment, it’s focusing its attention on ways it can help others around the globe. John Deere India is one example of a company initiative that is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people in a community abroad. Between John Deere and the Centre for Advanced Research and Development (CARD), the Samruddhi Project has taken off, and it continues to have a significant impact on locals for the greater good.

Let’s take a closer look at this demonstration of John Deere citizenship.
