John Deere expands aftermarket support program

John Deere announced this week it has expanded its John Deere Protect product offering with the new John Deere Protect Parts & Fluids Plan. 

The new program includes the same John Deere Protect benefits first introduced with its John Deere Protect Service Plan in 2021, but with the added flexibility of having the preventative maintenance labor and inspection performed by the customers own technicians, the company says. Both the John Deere Protect Service Plan and the John Deere Protect  Parts & Fluids Plan are designed to help customers manage long-term ownership costs, and provide flexibility for customers to maintain their machines.

John Deere Protect Service Plan was a great success, but we had one request from our customers added flexibility. Our customers recognize the value of John Deere Protect and the expertise their John Deere dealer provides, but were either located in very remote locations or already had capable technicians on staff, says Dan Stecklein, manager, service marketing. John Deere Protect Parts & Fluids Plan is based on the same foundation of machine warranties and assurances, use of genuine John Deere parts and fluids, and proactive machine monitoring, while enabling the customer to perform the maintenance labor with their in-house technicians.

The John Deere Protect Parts & Fluids Plan was available for select John Deere construction equipment in the United States and Canada starting on March 1.
