Deere debuts new standard warranty
21 Jul, 2010 LM Direct!MOLINE, IL — With a down economy still challenging Deere’s customers, the company has responded by increasing standard warranty coverage on new construction equipment in the U.S. and Canada.
The free, basic warranty has changed from six to 12 months – protecting customers twice as long.
“Now customers will be protected longer in this difficult climate,” said Ron Mayfield, director, worldwide customer and product support, John Deere Construction & Forestry. “That’s more than possible money savings; it’s valuable peace of mind.”
In an industry exclusive, Deere’s basic, no-deductible 12-month warranty actually “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,” Mayfield said. “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.
The StructurAll warranty provides three years or 10,000 hours of free service coverage on factory-installed major machine structures, including booms, Rollover Protection Structures (ROPS) and mainframes. Extended warranties also travel with machines.
