Meet the Power of Choice in Horsepower and Technology
John Deere tractors leave other brands in the dust, with more options to match your needs and budget.
Power and torque: Ask your John Deere dealer how you can have it all!
The John Deere 8 Series Tractors let you power through tough conditions by providing the power and torque you need at the right RPMs. Some tractor brands make you choose between high power or high torque, giving you less capability to handle those tough conditions. In addition, John Deere’s Intelligent Power Management (IPM) gives you additional horsepower when you need it.
John Deere provides the transmission options to match your needs and budget, unlike other tractor brands. The cab suspension provides adjustable ride settings, and the front axle suspension gives you the ability to optimize ride quality.
You’ll notice the difference in John Deere technology, as well. JDLink™ Connect provides you with ease of use and one point of contact for service and questions. AutoTrac™ provides seamless hands-free guidance integrated with the tractor, whereas other brands rely on third-party technology.
When it comes to power, choice and technology for row-crop tractors, it’s clear Nothing Runs Like a Deere™.
Technology, Comfort, Choice and Horsepower
John Deere continues to lead the way with row-crop tractors built for today's precision ag practices, and tomorrow's.
- John Deere introduced telematics-enabled tractors more than eight years ago. Other tractor manufacturers are just now implementing telematics into their machines.
- John Deere led the industry with GPS-enabling technologies, and continues to refine its hardware and software to deliver unparalleled precision and accuracy.
- John Deere's integrated intelligence approach makes it easy for farmers to benefit from precision ag solutions. This integration of data with our machines and displays has been in place for more than six years.
- Having years of experience in this area has allowed John Deere to develop more than 100 partnerships for agronomic analysis, with an open platform for collaboration.
So when it comes to technology, power and comfort, John Deere leads the way. That's why Nothing Runs Like a Deere.™
It pays to have connections.
Planting for success starts with your tractor.
This time of year, it’s all about being ready for the unexpected. And that starts by being fully connected.
See your dealer for Connected Support™
New John Deere tractors are equipped with Connected Support™ technology. When activated, it gives you (and your dealer) alerts about how your tractor is running, which can help you avoid downtime plus save you time and money. What’s more, you can keep track of your tractor fuel levels and location history, and view the in-cab display from anywhere.
With your permission, your dealer can monitor machine performance and alerts to proactively diagnose any problems. Your dealer can also update software remotely to get you running on time and on schedule. And if you do need a service call, your dealer’s service technicians will know what tools and parts to bring to the field.
It’s the connection you need to help you save time and money during planting.
Planting for success starts with your tractor.
Is your tractor ready for planting? It pays to be prepared with the right tractor technology to make planting simple. And the proper equipment checkups to help meet your planting window.
Check for proper:

- Hitch adjustment
- Aligned front end to ensure straight line operation and minimal tire wear
- Working flasher and lights

Buy or lease: Which option is right for you?
Is it better to own your tractor or other equipment? Or lease it? John Deere offers options that fit your operation best.
Questions to consider.
Think about your specific needs, explore your financing options, and make an informed decision based on the facts. And as your needs change, we can help you determine the right option for the future.Our leasing options can be a low-cost, low-risk way to acquire equipment when compared to purchasing outright or taking on an installment loan. Leasing isn’t as complicated as it seems. And since it can help cash flow, it’s worth checking into. John Deere Financial knows which questions to ask to determine if leasing is right for you:
- Is my operation stable, expanding, or downsizing?
- What are my cash flow needs?
- How long do I need the equipment?
- What is my advisor saying about my tax situation?
- Am I risk averse?
- Is ownership important to me?
- Is running the newest and latest technology important to my operation?
- Is running equipment under warranty important to my operation?
Work with your accountant/tax advisor and your John Deere dealer to determine which financing solution makes the most sense for your operation. It may even be a mix of installment financing and leasing.
Compare your financing cost.
Some believe leasing is the most expensive form of financing because at the end of the term you still have to pay the purchase option to own the machine. However, this overlooks several key facts:
- This is only true if you purchase the equipment.
- If the equipment is not purchased, it can be returned, potentially giving you a lower equipment-use cost than with installment notes.
- Total lease payments are almost always less than the original cash price of the equipment.
- The money saved with lower cash up front and low lease payments can be reinvested into your business operation.
When comparing costs, it’s important to take a comprehensive approach and consider all the factors involved — such as total payment costs, total costs including payments and purchase option, your internal rate of return (IRR), time value of money (TVM), and accounting and tax implications.
We recommend you consult your accountant/tax advisor to determine which financing solution makes the most sense for your operation. Structured properly, your overall lease cost can be lower than that of a loan — and much lower than the cost of paying cash.
