To improve productivity and durability for its customers, John Deere has introduced several changes to its two largest dozers, the 950K and 1050K models. All of the alterations are based on customer feedback and are specifically designed to improve ride quality and boost effectiveness. New undercarriage options and updated blade offerings add to the strong history of productivity and innovation seen in John Deere dozer offerings.

“Our time spent on customer sites has allowed us to confidently design an undercarriage for the 1050K that drastically improves operability and productivity on rough terrain,” said Matt Goedert, solutions marketing manager, John Deere. “With the updates to the 950K and 1050K machines, such as the Extended Life undercarriage life option, we’re delivering increased machine uptime while also significantly enhancing the operator experience.”

John Deere is always on step ahead, meaning its customers never have to worry about whether they have the latest in construction technology to take on the task at hand. To cater to those who are looking to maximize uptime and boost productivity, the company has rolled out its Precision Construction portfolio.

“Since the beginning, delivering innovative solutions to our customers has been a core focus for John Deere, and the Precision Construction portfolio is taking that commitment to the next level,” said Andrew Kahler, manager, technology solutions, John Deere. “In recent years, we’ve unveiled an array of technology solutions that directly address our customers’ concerns on the job site. Now, we’re building on that foundation, pushing down on the gas pedal, and moving the industry toward the next generation of smart machine solutions.”

Long Bay Trucking, Inc., is one example of a company that has strong roots and the know-how to get the job done while working in the woods. For its toughest jobs, the company turns to John Deere and its equipment to accomplish a wide range of tasks out in the field.

To assist producers who want to cover more acres efficiently throughout the workday, Deere has introduced new updates to the John Deere 9 Series Tractors. The lineup will now include the wheeled 9R, two-track 9RT, and four-track 9RX Tractors. The goal of these machines is to help farmers cross off more items on their to-do list each day in a quick, effective manner while out in the field.

Deere has introduced the John Deere 400 and 600 Series Sprayers to meet the evolving demands of farmers who require more operator comfort, high-quality application, and the most machine uptime possible. The John Deere 400 Series will include the 408R, 410R, and 412R, while the John Deere 600 Series will include the 612R and 616R.

“Each sprayer features a new, larger cab with your choice of three comfort and convenience packages available to fit a variety of needs,” Joel Basinger, marketing manager for John Deere said. “The 400 and 600 Series Sprayers turn technology into application quality and enhance machine uptime for customers.”

To meet the evolving demands of customers working in the forestry industry, John Deere has developed its new Precision Forestry initiative. The company announced that it will be reorganizing its technology portfolio and adding new solutions for customers who work in this sector. Ultimately, the goal is to provide more intelligent, connected equipment to those who need it.

“Previously, the industry has focused on developing bigger, faster, more powerful machines to boost performance, but larger machines sometimes present more challenges, especially on job sites with limitations,” said Matthew Flood, product marketing manager, John Deere. “Technology has been a game-changer for the forestry industry, enabling us to improve operator efficiency and performance without altering machine size. With the Precision Forestry initiative, we’re organizing our portfolio to create a foundation for the future of forestry machines and job site technology.”

Regeneration is the process of oxidizing the accumulated soot from a filter. To comply with environmental regulations, your John Deere tractor may come with an after-treatment device, which includes a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and diesel particulate filter (DPF). After at least 3,000 hours, your machinery will let you know when the filter needs to be removed and cleaned. But there are two types of regeneration: passive and active. Let’s take a closer look at each, as well as why regeneration is important for your engine.

John Deere has been a household name for decades, so it’s no wonder that those in the construction industry continue to flock to the company for their equipment needs. One business that has learned about all of the benefits that Deere has to offer is Elder Corporation of Des Moines, Iowa. This third-generation company has seen technology change in various ways over the years. Elder Corporation specializes in demolition, earthwork, underground utilities, concrete, and much more, meaning it needed machinery that could take on a wide array of tasks. This is where John Deere came into play.
