Plains Equipment carries the latest from John Deere

New forage handling gear; application equipment and tractor engine technology are part of the John Deere line-up for 2014 at Plains Equipment. During Husker Harvest Days, District Manager Mike Mackie showed Brownfield Ag News what just came off Deere’s production line. The John Deere W235 self-propelled windrower has 35 more horsepower than the R450, which it replaces. Where application equipment is concerned, the 4730 sprayer makes way for the new R4030 sprayer (750-gallon tank). Likewise, the 4830 is replaced with the R4038 (1,000-gallon tank), each brand new and designed from the ground up with a new boom, even with the 120-foot option for covering more ground. In addition to new engine technology making for fewer exhaust emissions, the 7000R John Deere tractors have more horsepower and improvements to the cab.

For growers who might be in the market to update combines, Plains Equipment has a loyalty program for their customers. Ag Sales Representative BJ Kempcke tells Brownfield Ag News the dealership is offering more trade allowance from John Deere for older-model JD combines. He says there is also more money available to trade up on John Deere headers. There’s also Five-series combine being offered for those who may not need the size of the Six-series.
