John Deere extends its Fuel Guarantee program to in-field applications

John Deere is pleased to announce that the company's Fuel Guarantee program will apply to work in the field and on the road.

Owners of John Deere six-cylinder tractors of the 6R, 7R and 8R series will be able to take part in the extended program, which offers customers a financial reward for economical driving.

The fuel guarantee program was first launched two years ago for 7310R tractors. Since then, John Deere has proven the on-road efficiency of its complete range of six-cylinder tractors, from the 6R series to the 8R series. Building on this success, the company has now decided to extend the program to in-field applications.

When using the program, participating customers and their dealer record a tractor's actual fuel consumption at the end of a one-year operating period and compare it with the target fuel consumption.

This value depends on the average engine load, from light to heavy, while each tractor model also has its own target fuel consumption. If total consumption exceeds John Deere's target level, the company will reimburse the customers.

If, on the contrary, the tractor consumes less than the set target, the owners of the most efficient machines will also be rewarded, as they will receive a refund equal to twice the price per liter saved. The total value depends on the local fuel price.

The new fuel guarantee program applies to all new eligible tractor models ordered after 1er November 2018. John Deere offers its customers an additional benefit: an exclusive tractor optimization program.

Experience has shown that even perfectly trained drivers are able to reduce their fuel consumption by up to 20%. The optimization program is part of a FarmSight precision agriculture package that is mandatory for all users of the Fuel Guarantee program.

It includes the initial setup of the John Deere Operations Center on MyJohnDeere.com, seasonal telephone support and other useful options.

Once the dealer has enrolled a machine in the Fuel Guarantee program, the customer must give explicit consent to data access via the online feature: Consent Manager on MyJohnDeere.com.
