Questions

Combines inspection FAQ

What does the combines inspection cost?

The inspection labor is waived when you approve recommended service work of at least $5,000 and finance it through John Deere Financial with approved credit. On its own, the inspection is valued at up to $1,400.

What do you check?

Every system on our combines checklist: feeder house; engine; cooling system; cab; grain tank; right-hand side; left-hand side; corn heads; flex and rigid headers. You get a written recommendation, and nothing is repaired until you approve it.

Is there a better deal than one season?

Yes. The 3-year agreement saves the most, and includes washing: the $130 on-farm wash fee is waived, or bring your equipment to us and we wash it free.

Through John Deere Financial with no payment and no interest until November 15, 2027, subject to approved credit, plus 10% off parts from the inspection and a 12-month warranty on installed parts.
