John Deere

To meet the changing demands of its customers, John Deere has developed a new Performance Tiering Strategy to provide a range of equipment at different levels of capability. To start, Deere is beginning with its wheel loader lineup. The company will move away from the traditional series letter designations and will instead focus on three tiers of machinery – G, P, and X.

“Every job site is unique, and customers want machine solutions that can be personalized to meet their diverse needs, including performance, price, and comfort,” said Jason Daly, global director, production systems, technology, and marketing, John Deere. “By offering three tiers, customers can move up or down the spectrum to find the right mix of features, performance, and innovation for their business and application.”

To provide a more consistent user experience and offer new mobile features, Deere has updated the John Deere Operations Center. Work Planner now allows farmers to streamline their tasks, while MyOperations™ – the new name for the mobile version of the Operations Center – gives producers the option to manage their fleet remotely.

“We know farmers are always on the move, which makes the mobile app version of Operations Center more important than ever,” said Jennifer Badding, go-to-market manager – digital technology, with John Deere. “That’s why John Deere has made improvements to both versions, web and mobile, to make them look and function in a similar manner, so farmers have clear and easy access to their data from any device.”

John Deere X Series Combines have been recognized for their innovative technology, design, and engineering in the past. Now, they are being honored with a CES Award from the Consumer Technology Association, which hosts the CES Innovation Awards program. The program is an annual competition that honors outstanding design and engineering across a multitude of consumer technology products. It is meant to recognize honorees in several different categories and distinguish the highest rated in each. For 2021, John Deere has been awarded the Best of Innovation honor for its X Series Combines. The association notes Deere’s commitment to innovation as a means to help farmers grow crops more efficiently and sustainably.

In an effort to address the needs of loggers who work in wetland and swamp conditions, John Deere has rolled out the 953ML Shovel Logger. This piece of forestry machinery can help customers maneuver through the muck while enjoying the comforts of a modern operating station. “We are committed to providing loggers with proven equipment solutions that meet their unique needs, regardless of the job site,” said Jim O’Halloran, product manager John Deere. “The new 953ML expands our portfolio to offer a machine engineered with wetland conditions in mind. Unlike wheeled machines, this purpose-built shovel logger can effortlessly tackle swampy terrain.”

The John Deere X320 and X360 tractors are both ideal for mowing with the utmost control. However, there are slight differences between the models that may appeal to customers depending on their specific needs. 

If you’re looking for a tractor that has the ability to handle all the work you need to do around your property, look no further than the John Deere X320 tractor. This tractor comes with a 48-inch or 54-inch deck to suit all of your needs, and it also has a heavy-duty transmission for all of the jobs around the yard. Alternatively, if you are looking for an even more heavy-duty vehicle, the X360 may be the better option due to its hydraulic lift system. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights of the John Deere X320 and the X360 to help you make a more informed purchasing decision.
