John Deere prides itself on developing equipment that is meant to stand the test of time, but have you ever wondered where the magic takes place? Over the years, the company has expanded its list of factory locations to better meet the needs of customers around the world. One of these locations is the John Deere Ottumwa Works Factory, a facility that designs and manufactures high-quality hay and forage equipment.

Let’s take a closer look at what makes this John Deere factory so special.

When you’re on the hunt for a self-leveling loader for your small tractor, you can rest assured that John Deere has you covered. The company has recently rolled out its Mechanical Self-Leveling Loader (MSL), which is compatible with John Deere 1E, 1R, 2R, and 3E compact utility tractors.

“Our new MSL makes it easier for our customers to move materials by automatically keeping the bucket or pallet forks level,” said Ray Gherardini, product marketing manager, John Deere. “With the new Mechanical Self-Leveling loaders, customers can confidently operate the loader through a full range of motion while keeping the load level, and save time by moving more with every load.”

John Deere is all about delivering excellence through the equipment it produces. Now, its 8R Tractors are gaining the recognition they deserve for the features that make them the right choice for Deere customers across the country. Recently, Deere announced that its 8R Tractors won three awards for the role they play in the agricultural industry: The Red Dot Design Award; the 2020 iF Design Award (Discipline: Product); and a Sustainability Award from the Business Intelligence Group.

When you’re on the hunt for new hay and forage equipment to help you out in the field, you know you can rely on John Deere to provide you with all of the machinery you require. Whether you need a wheel rake or a bale wrapper, Deere has the piece you need to ultimately boost your efficiency.

Let’s take a look at 15 pieces of hay equipment you can consider as you shop to suit your needs.

To cater to large-scale producers, John Deere has announced that it is adding two new models of X Series Combines to its 2021 harvesting lineup. The X9 1000 and X9 1100 Combines are both designed to thresh, separate, and clean more bushels per hour in tough conditions. In turn, this means less downtime and a boost in productivity for operators out in the field. Now, farmers are sharing their firsthand accounts of what it’s like to have the new X Series Combines and front-end equipment at their disposal.

John Deere knows that in order to take on a long workday, producers need reliable equipment that is designed to help cross off every task on their to-do list. With this in mind, the company has revamped its entire combine header lineup to include HDR Rigid Cutterbar Drapers, RDF HydraFlex™ Drapers, CR and CF Corn Heads, and a BP15 Belt Pickup. Ultimately, the goal is to provide customers with the machinery they need to achieve maximum harvesting capacity while minimizing grain loss under any condition.

When you’re operating heavy machinery all day, you know how important it is to ensure that you’re comfortable while you work. This is where John Deere CommandPRO comes into play. This customizable, ergonomic joystick enables operators to control everything from tractor speed to direction. In short, you’ll have more opportunity to focus on the machine and what is going on in front of you rather than directing all of your attention to the controls.

Here are a few video overviews that feature the benefits of CommandPRO, specifically in relation to John Deere’s lineup of 7 Series and 8 Series tractors.
