The landscaping industry can be difficult to break into, as Derek Taussig of Taussig Landscape knows. However, with a bit of ingenuity and research, he was able to find his way to Prairieland Partners, who helped him build his company from the ground up. Since then, he has been utilizing John Deere machinery to drive his business and deliver optimal results to his clients.

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 a budget, you immediately become conscious of how expensive construction machinery can be for your company. This is why John Deere introduced its machine rebuild program, which can instantly transform existing machinery into the equipment of customers’ dreams at a fraction of the cost. Paul Reed Construction & Supply is one company that took advantage of this John Deere program, and it hasn’t looked back since.

When you’re on the hunt for a commercial mower to help you tackle a wide area in a short amount of time, Deere has you covered. The company has now added a 72-inch deck option to the Z994R ZTrak™ Zero-Turn Mower for customers who want to boost their productivity and overall efficiency on the job.

To accommodate customers who want more insight into how their lawn tractor is working for them, John Deere has rolled out Smart Connectors to accompany the MowerPlus™ app. These Smart Connectors communicate with the MowerPlus smartphone app via Bluetooth® technology. Depending on the mower model and connector, the new add-ons can communicate everything from fuel level to battery state.

An Overview of the MowerPlus App

The smartphone app, MowerPlus, was introduced by Deere back in 2016. It is available for both Android and iOS devices, and it allows users to optimize their use of lawn equipment over time.

To provide loggers with reliable equipment for different worksites and operational needs, John Deere has introduced the John Deere 910G and 1010G Forwarders. These machines come with ultra-comfortable cabs, as well as a variety of boom, load space, axle, and cabin options.

“With the addition of the new 910G and 1010G Forwarders, we are rounding out our forwarder product line to offer a solution for every logging operation,” said Niko Solopuro, product marketing manager WCTL Forwarders and Automation. “Compact in size, these versatile machines deliver power and productivity, even in the most demanding conditions. When in the woods, it is critical to have reliable equipment that ensures operators can efficiently finish jobs, no matter what they may face.”

When you need to track your applied nutrients out in the field accurately and efficiently, you require a machine you can rely on in even the toughest conditions. This is where John Deere’s HarvestLab 3000 comes into play. With HarvestLab technology and constituent sensing, this piece of equipment will not let you down. Let’s take a look at how the features of this technology make it a must-have device on the job.

On-the-go measuring.

The HarvestLab 3000 offers on-the-go measuring of moisture, dry matter, protein, starch, fiber, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, and sugar. It measures these components efficiently and accurately.

These days, individuals can indulge in their passions through a wide array of content, with audio continuing to grow in popularity. Podcasts cover an extensive range of topics, including, but not limited to, agriculture, construction, and forestry. Now, John Deere fans have a new series they can check out to get their fix on all things related to the brand and life out in the fields: “On Life & Land.”

The Furrow Magazine, a print and web-based publication, has launched the new podcast series to give its fans an opportunity to share their own stories, which often relate to John Deere and/or agriculture.

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.
