Now there's a tire that's just as tough as a Deere skid steer. The only John Deere-tested and approved one-piece solid-flex tires, Brawler tires help you save time and money by eliminating flats — and the frustration and downtime that go with them. "Having to replace tires regularly costs a lot of money," says Mike Bork, owner of Bork Farms, Fountain City, Wisconsin. "With the Brawlers, I don't have to worry about that for at least a couple years. I know that for a fact."
"I get about four or five times the wear compared to the original set of tires," adds Marty Meyer, owner of Bi-State Inc., Arcadia, Wisconsin. "And with no flats and the extended wear time, I probably save four to five times the amount of money."

"We're not the biggest rental company - we're locally owned and operated," says Operations Manager Bob Soper. "But Deere helps us to be competitive because they are a top-of-the-line product that is recognized throughout the world. They are second to none in terms of brand recognition."One of the main reasons Capital Rental went with Deere is reliability."If we have a machine go down, we can't rent it and we're not making money on it," says Soper. "We've been renting Deere equipment for three years now, and I haven't seen any service bills other than for scheduled maintenance."http://digdeeper.deere.com/videos/?type=2&id=116 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:20:42 GMTA dairy farmer's work is never done. The care and feeding of hundreds of cows is highly labor intensive. So like many other dairy farmers, Tom and Deb Green, owners of Green Farms in Viola, Wisconsin, depend on highly versatile John Deere skid steers to complete a variety of tasks, including loading feed mixers, scraping stalls, and placing bedding.

"It's very important for our skid steers not to give us any problems," adds Tom. "We use Deere machines because they are so reliable. I don't think we'd use any other brand of equipment besides John Deere."

"We've tried other brands, and nothing else compares," says Deb. "We love John Deere equipment."http://digdeeper.deere.com/videos/?type=2&id=117 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:20:42 GMTTo pollinate their cranberries, Randy and Stephen Gebhardt bring in honeybees for two weeks every June. Deere 244Js are used to unload trucks and distribute the hives. And with their tight turning radius, 244Js come in handy for loading pallets of fertilizer. Switching from forks to a bucket, the compact loaders are also used to haul gravel and remove snow.

"The 244J is just an awesome machine," says Randy. "The turning radius is as tight as I've ever seen. You can drive right into a building, load up a pallet, and drive right back out. It's got great visibility and lift capability, and the operation is so smooth. They're handy and they're fast."http://digdeeper.deere.com/videos/?type=2&id=81 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:20:42 GMTRoadmark has been in the pavement-marking business since 1974. John Deere engines have been powering the pavement-marking equipment on the company's massive trucks for over 20 years.

With that kind of proven reliability, choosing Deere skid steers was a no-brainer. Vice President Pat Conway, who has taken courses on fabrication, appreciates just how well built the machines are.

"You compare John Deere side-by-side with skid steers made by other manufacturers, and you can't believe the difference in quality — it's just night and day. From the welds to the joints to the thickness of the steel, everything about the Deere is beefier and more durable. It's pretty amazing."http://digdeeper.deere.com/videos/?type=4&id=82
