John Deere announced its service program for construction equipment, John Deere Protect Service Plan, to better support customers through improved aftermarket and support capabilities. With John Deere Protect, required maintenance is performed at every 500-hour interval by an experienced dealer service technician. As a result, customers can decrease their risk and long-term ownership costs.

“Our customers are balancing numerous things every day, from managing operators to looking ahead at projections to ensure the long-term success of their business. Through the John Deere Protect program, we’re enabling customers to shift the worry of scheduled maintenance to trusted and experienced dealer technicians,” said Mark Wagner, Manager, Service Business, John Deere Construction and Forestry Division. “The John Deere Protect program adds a layer of certainty and predictability with machine costs and downtime, giving owners the room to focus on other aspects of their business.”

First introduced on select models of John Deere Ag equipment, John Deere is extending the program to the construction equipment lineup. The program will be available for select John Deere construction equipment at participating dealers in the United States and Canada starting in May.
