John Deere

Since John Deere’s Gator debuted more than a decade ago, customers have been able to tackle a wide variety of tasks with their equipment on and off the field. Originally, the traditional John Deere Gators provided all of the basic amenities customers needed in a utility vehicle to improve their productivity. Over time, the Gator evolved into a crossover utility vehicle that could handle off-roading tasks as well, making it a must-have for those who needed a versatile machine that could do it all.

Today, John Deere is known for its award-winning innovations, but have you ever really thought about how we got here? The most critical moments in John Deere history date back to 1837 when the man himself, John Deere, was a blacksmith in Grand Detour, IL who wanted to make farmers’ jobs a bit easier. Fast forward over 180 years, and this company is still manufacturing equipment with the same purpose in mind – helping customers be as productive as possible. While Deere is widely known for its various tractor models, these machines were not being produced until 1918 – this is when the company purchased the Waterloo Engine Gas Company.

John Deere precision ag is the latest in agricultural technology that keeps you up to speed on everything going on out in the field. Whether you’re working with corn, soybeans, or everything in between, John Deere’s precision ag technology can help you keep an eye on the performance of your machines.

However, it goes beyond just machine overview – field prep, planting, spraying, and harvesting are all taken to the next level with John Deere precision ag.

John Deere customers are always put first, a major factor in what has made Deere successful. Over the past century, factory employees have taken a large amount of pride in the work they churn out, knowing that John Deere customers will cherish this machinery for years to come.

These values have been passed down from generation to generation at the company, and John Deere’s dedication has never wavered. Watch the video below to take a closer look at one family of John Deere customers who have relied on this machinery through the years.

Employees Follow Customer from Combine Order to Harvest

To mark the 50^th anniversary of Deere’s first ever wheel loader, the company has rolled out three new powerful L-Series wheel loaders: the 524L, 544L, and 624L. These new machines are ideal for projects that require agility and versatility out in the field. Furthermore, they were designed with the operator in mind, with newly improved cabs, electrohydraulic loader controls, and redesigned near-parallel linkage.

“Our next generation of wheel loaders improves upon the legacy of the John Deere wheel loader line,” said Chris Cline, product marketing manager for utility wheel loaders, John Deere Construction & Forestry. “The L-Series boasts several improvements over previous models designed to positively impact productivity, comfort, and visibility, resulting in increased profitability.”

The John Deere Foundation has been as big of a part of the company as the machines that are produced each day. At Deere, employees believe in giving back to the community in any way they can to make for a more sustainable, peaceful world. The company aspires to be a catalyst for positive global change by focusing its energy, intellect, and resources on solving issues, such as world hunger. It also looks to empower others through education and developing employees’ home communities.

Areas of Focus

The John Deere Foundation focuses on a number of philanthropic initiatives, which include youth education, community development, and solutions for world hunger.

It goes without saying that John Deere has always been dedicated to creating the next big thing across industries, from agriculture to construction. This hard work has not gone unnoticed, with Deere being recognized for equipment innovation among top global companies. A research project led by the Gabelli School of Business at Fordham University and the Norwegian School of Economics recently found that customers rank Deere ahead of major technologies companies, such as Facebook and Google, when it comes to innovation.
