PowerGard protection for turf tractors
By Steve Mitchell in Industry on 7th Aug 2011 12:00
John Deere's PowerGard Maintenance and PowerGard Protection programmes are now available for new compact and utility tractors, including the 20 Series and 3036E compacts and 5 Series utility models. Combining both plans allows customers to budget for their machinery maintenance and repair costs.
"During busy times, it's easy to fall behind with the maintenance procedures recommended in the tractor operator's manual and service record book," says John Deere Limited's aftermarket sales manager James Morley. "This can lead to unexpected repairs that create unbudgeted expenses. These in turn cause problems with the operator's cash flow, on top of disrupting work.
"Our commercial turf customers in the UK and Ireland can now benefit from a maintenance plan to help fix costs, budget more accurately and avoid unexpected outlays. These new PowerGard programmes are specially designed to control operating costs, remove the worry and allow compact and utility tractor users to choose the best plan to suit their individual needs.
"These are much more than simple extended warranty programmes; PowerGard is a complete maintenance and protection plan that allows the user to budget for the full operating costs of the tractor, while ensuring that it is properly maintained throughout its working life to provide years of reliable service."
PowerGard Maintenance is an agreement between the dealership and the customer to do all the maintenance work on the machine according to the service schedule in the operator's manual, and the dealership must perform at least one annual inspection. Customers can pay at each service, in regular instalments or for the entire contract in advance, with the cost of the plan including all parts, maintenance fluids and routine labour.
There are two levels of PowerGard Protection plan that cover the cost of machinery repairs for up to five years, and must be bought with a PowerGard Maintenance plan. The basic PowerGard Protection is for limited coverage of the powertrain and engine, while PowerGard Protection Plus provides more comprehensive coverage of all key machine components.
Full details of covered items are available from John Deere dealers.

New John Deere Utility Tractors
The highlight of our John Deere factory tour was the introduction of a new lineup of sub-compact utility tractors that will replace their current 2305 model. The new series 1 tractors include the 1023E and 1026R . Functionality and versatility are the same on both tractors but the 1026R has more creature comforts that make longer hours/days in the the tractor much more bearable.
Most sub-compact tractor customers aren't farmers by trade and these tractors are built and designed for the residential buyer who has a bit of land they need help working and they need a tractor that has a tremendous amount of versatility and durability.
Some of the new features have been brought down from the larger tractors and include deluxe lighting packages, position-control 3-point hitch and proper storage for tools. A folding ROPS (Roll Over Protection Structures) system was also introduced to make the tractor compatible in low-hanging storage areas such as garages or sheds.
AutoConnect The killer feature that both new models now have is the AutoConnect technology. Operators simply drive over the top of the mowing deck to attach it to the tractor. There is also an added AutoPTO feature available that automatically matches the PTO couplings which makes the entire process of installing a mowing deck and cutting the grass without ever getting out of your seat to connect anything.
In addition, the iMatch AutoHitch compatible 3-point hitch implements can be attached or removed from the tractor's 3-point hitch in minutes without ever leaving the seat or using a single tool.
These automated processes reduce the work for owners who typically have to position decks underneath tractors and can only be used on cement which often times gets scratched or damaged from the deck.
The position control 3-point hitch (1026R) ensures a perfect link every time.
There are a multitude of attachments for these new tractors and they include front loaders, mower decks, rotary tillers, snowplows and even a backhoe.
The 1026R also includes an upgraded seat with armrests, added lighting, cruise control for mowing, tilt steering, tool box, 12-volt outlet for charging MP3 player or phone.If you're seeking a bit more power the 1026R has a slight bump in power with a 25.2hp motor compared to the 23.5hp in the 1023E.
Another simple but important change was moving the gas filler from the hood of the tractor to a more manageable and lower location near the rear fender. The deck height adjustment for mowing grass has also been relocated and is now in easy reach near the drivers leg. These improvements are standard on both tractors.
