Deere increases standard warranty coverage
July 21, 2010With a down economy still challenging Deere’s customers, the company has responded by increasing standard warranty coverage on new construction equipment in the United States and Canada.
The free, basic warranty has changed from six to 12 months. Deere’s basic, no-deductible 12-month warranty also “travels” with the machine if the equipment is sold to another party.
“This unique traveling warranty increases the re-sale value of the equipment and gives the buyer ‘like-new’ protection if the iron is sold during its first year,” said Ron Mayfield, director of worldwide customer and product support for John Deere Construction & Forestry. “In addition, the entire network of more than 600 dealer locations in the U.S. and Canada stand ready to honor our warranty. And nine regional parts depots back up the full parts shelves at our dealerships to make sure you get the parts you need.”
If the basic warranty isn’t enough, Deere and its dealers also offer strong extended warranty packages for even greater protection. The John Deere StructurAll warranty for excavators is one example. It provides three years or 10,000 hours of free service coverage on factory-installed major machine structures, including booms, Rollover Protection Structures and mainframes. Extended warranties also travel with machines.
