Our best value

Save the most with a 3-year agreement

Commit your machines for three seasons and you lock in the program's biggest savings, plus a clean machine every year.

  • The most savings in the program. A 3-year agreement saves you more than signing up one season at a time. Ask your service team what it adds up to for your machines.
  • On-farm wash, no fee. If we wash your equipment at your farm or location, we waive the $130 wash fee.
  • Bring it in, we wash it free. If you bring your equipment to us, we wash it at no charge.
  • Every no-cost inspection benefit, every year of the agreement.

Questions

Planters inspection FAQ

What does the planters inspection cost?

The inspection labor is waived when you approve recommended service work of at least $1,500 and finance it through John Deere Financial with approved credit. On its own, the inspection is valued at up to $812.

What do you check?

Every system on our planters checklist: row units; seed metering; herbicide and fertilizer; drives and down force. 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.

How do I pay for repairs?

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.
