Tractor john deere who makes. John Deere - brand history

Deere & Company is one of the most respected companies in the engineering industry and one of the most successful companies in the world. Its reputation is the result of 175 years of hard and dedicated work, which is still based on the core values ​​of its founder: honesty, quality, commitment and innovation. These values ​​define the way Deere&Company operates today: the quality offered and unsurpassed service are guaranteed to customers, investors and employees of the company.

Story

The origins of the company began when, in 1837, Illinois blacksmith John Deere made a polished steel plow that allowed pioneering farmers to cut clean furrows in the sticky soil of the Midwestern prairies. The very next year, the author of the first commercially successful plow became an industrialist and began a history of extraordinary success as a machine builder, developing and patenting new implements for working on the ground. In 1864, his offspring takes the name Deere & Company, and a year later the first trading branch opens, which becomes a harbinger of the company's current branches with a clear division into geographical zones.

The last quarter of the 19th century was marked for the company by a victory in a field competition at the World Exhibition in Paris: Deere & Company brings to the world market the most successful own product for that time - a plow with wheels and a seat, which saved the worker from having to follow him during plowing.

In 1876, the “running deer”, already known to farmers, becomes the registered symbol of the company.

In 1880, a long history of cooperation with Russia begins: the first batch of 900 plows arrives in the port of Vladivostok.

In 1910, Deere & Company unites its independent factories and branches, centralizes finances. It was during these years that the prototype of the modern global corporation was formed, the outlines of new interests and goals appeared.

The economic recession of the 1920s - a period of wholesale bankruptcy of farmers, the withdrawal of famous companies from the tractor manufacturing sector, widespread strikes, mass layoffs and union exits ... John Deere is experiencing a precipitous drop in tractor sales by more than 60 times. And yet, in 1923, Deere & Company launches a two-cylinder tractor, which immediately won success with consumers. In the midst of the Great Depression, the company dominated its full-service farm equipment business.

The 1920s are the time of the revival of the company's active cooperation with Russia: in 1923, as an aid to post-revolutionary Soviet Russia, weakened by famine, Deere & Company supplies several tractors, and further deliveries are not long in coming. From 1928 to 1932, Deere & Company delivered more than eight thousand tractors to the USSR.

Undoubtedly, this cooperation led to the fact that the country went through a short, albeit dramatic, path from a sickle to a combine, and a common understanding of the need to develop its own agricultural engineering led to the construction of large specialized tractor factories and the emergence of agricultural engineering faculties in a number of universities in the country.

With the outbreak of the Second World War in many countries there is a sharp increase in the mechanization of agriculture, the number of machines in the fields of farms doubles.

The post-war decade was the period of the company's formation as an international manufacturer: in 1956, a small tractor assembly plant was built in Mexico, a controlling stake in a tractor and combine plant in Germany was bought out, and own enterprises appeared in Argentina, France, and South Africa.

In 2000, Deere & Company announced the latest change to its logo: for the first time, a deer was depicted jumping up instead of down.

The history of John Deere is the history of people, geography, machines. The values ​​of the company are not big words, they are the spirit of the company, the meaning of activity, the principles of approach to work, embodied in every product, service and solution offered to the client.

We understand the why, so we know the how!

On the way to the 100th anniversary of our own tractor production

In 1888, Deere & Company began producing sectional plows, which were towed by tractors with steam engines. The "steam age" of these machines from the moment they appeared on American fields lasted about thirty years, and only at the very end of the First World War did Deere & Company buy the Waterloo Boy internal combustion engine tractor plant. But in terms of sales in the first year, the company is six times inferior to its competitor Ford Motor Company. Nevertheless, it is tractors that immediately become the main product in the company's lineup.

Entering the market in five years model"D"- the first two-cylinder tractor with the John Deere name, which becomes popular from the first day of production and over the next thirty years. In 1925, the development of the universal tractor GP begins, and in the future, it takes a few years for the company to make a breakthrough in technology over and over again. In the late 1920s, the first tractor with three wheels on the front axle to pass between two furrows and with a wide rear wheel track to bypass two furrows, the GP Wide-Tread row crop tractor, enters the market.

In the midst of the Great Depression, the company is vigorously developing its own products, and in 1934 a tractor is launched into production. model "A". Similar but smaller model "B" appears as early as 1935. These machines become the most popular in the history of the company, remaining in production until 1952.

During the war years, Deere & Company produced tractors for the needs of the army, ammunition, aircraft parts, cargo and laundry mobile modules. But just two years after the end of the war, a tractor was built at the new John Deere plant in Dubuque, Iowa. model "M". A little later, this model becomes available in a caterpillar modification and gets the name "MS". After adding the front knife to the design, the tractor becomes a bulldozer. At the same time, John Deere's first diesel product, the tractor, enters production. models"R".

Since the early 1960s, John Deere has been strengthening its presence around the world: in 1961, a tractor factory opens in Argentina and a new engine factory in France. In 1977, an agreement with the Japanese manufacturer Yanmar allowed the sale of small tractors under the John Deere brand. In 1981, John Deere's Waterloo tractor plant began operating at full capacity.

In the early 1990s, thanks to the release of new tractors 5000, 6000, 7000 series significantly increased the company's market share in North America and Europe.

In 2010, production was opened in the city of Domodedovo - the largest John Deere investment project in Russia, including a production center and a distribution warehouse of spare parts to serve customers in Russia, the CIS countries, as well as in other nearby regions.

R-decisions in favor of the client

Tractors of the 8R and 9R series are significantly different in design and ease of operation, special attention is paid to the shape, ergonomics, noise insulation of the cab. A climate control system is installed inside the cabin. Together with the CommandCenter, thoughtful exterior lighting provides excellent visibility around the tractor and makes it possible to work on the tractor at any time of the day. The redesigned hydraulic system on John Deere tractors allows for minimal steering effort and makes the machine responsive and very responsive. The integrated ISOBUS data transmission bus works with modern trailed implements without additional devices using the tractor monitor.

All John Deere tractors are equipped with John Deere PowerTechPlus engines, which are designed specifically for agricultural conditions. The engines use a Japanese-made fuel system adapted to the quality of Russian diesel fuel.

John Deere tractors are equipped with an AutomaticPowerShift automatic transmission. The device of this gearbox is such that its gears are in permanent engagement with friction clutches, and control comes from an electro-hydraulic type drive. This is all included in the standard standard equipment of the John Deere tractor. The AutomaticPowerShift transmission has been designed for heavy duty applications where high torque must be applied to the drive axle. The AutomaticPowerShift gearbox is designed in such a way that it has an almost perfect balance of gears, so that even accidental layering and jamming of them with each other is impossible. In automatic mode, the AutomaticPowerShift class transmission is used in transport mode or field work. Its use helps to optimize fuel consumption, avoid engine overload and generally increase the efficiency of the John Deere tractor.

The 8R series tractor range is equipped with a MFWD (1500 series) driven front axle, which is articulated to the body of a John Deere 8330 tractor. Twin wheels can be mounted on the 1500 series MFWD front axle.

For functioning with mechanisms and active working bodies, John Deere tractors are equipped with a rear PTO with a 35 mm reversible shank with 6 and 21 splines, as well as a 45 mm shank with 20 splines. /min The use of one or another PTO shank depends on the required power consumed by agricultural machinery. So, 6-spline shank - up to 75 hp, 21-spline shank - up to 150 hp. and 20-spline shank - over 150 hp

John Deere tractors have a hydraulic system design based on a controlled pump, taking into account the load level. The main hydraulic pump has a capacity of 160 l/min. allows you to achieve a high speed of oil supply to consumers located outside. To work with trailers and other agricultural equipment equipped with hydraulic drives, which require a higher return speed, it is possible to mount a pump with an increased capacity of 227 l / min. The hydraulic system of John Deere tractors can include from 3 to 8 hydraulic distribution sections equipped with external hydraulic outlets for connection to external consumers. These sections are controlled by electro-hydraulic spools. A distinctive feature is that the operation of each section can be programmed separately.

For efficient operation with rear-mounted agricultural machinery, John Deere tractors are equipped with an additional hydraulic linkage system capable of working with tonnage from 4500 to 13000 kg.

John Deere tractors can be equipped with a 3-point linkage of various categories. In tractors up to the 9th series, it is possible to mount a category 3 hitch in the front, capable of working with loads up to 5900 kg.

The hydraulic system of John Deere tractors is equipped with a power position balancer for automatic control of the depth at which the soil is worked. The HSC system allows you to stabilize the depth of processing when slipping equipment.

Tractors of the 8R and 9R series have caterpillar modifications. All John Deere tractors are equipped with an automated control system - GreenStar AutoTrac based on GPS with the need to select only the accuracy of the signal.

The integration of John Deere machinery and AMS (Precision Agriculture Systems) technologies gives the farmer not only the ability to track the movement of machines, but also the key to making informed decisions. As a source for collecting and documenting all data, the embedded software GreenStar AutoTrac, GreenStar Parallel Tracking, GreenStar RTK, FieldDoc allows you to receive, process and store data on the boundaries of field plots, tillage technologies used, spraying, fertilizer application rates and plant protection products, seed, the volume and conditions of the work performed, the actions of the operator and much more. Thus, an accurate assessment of the profitability of the work carried out leads to a daily increase in productivity in the field. By investing in the latest John Deere technology, the manufacturer makes not only the machines work for itself, but also a huge amount of information received.

our story

Since its founding in 1837, John Deere has provided products and services to those who work the land. Read about our past: what it has taught us and how we use it to improve every day.

In Grand Detour, Illinois, blacksmith John Deere hears farmers' worries that their ploughs, designed for the sandy soil of the eastern United States, are unable to shed heavy prairie soil. In response, Deer creates a highly polished steel plow blade from a broken hacksaw blade.



Blacksmith John Deere becomes industrialist John Deere. He later recalls making 10 plows in 1839, 75 in 1841, and 100 in 1842.



After ten years at Grand Detour, John Deere forms a new partnership and moves to the city of Moline, located on the Mississippi River, which provides him with water energy and transportation opportunities. The following year, his new state-of-the-art plow factory doubles production.



John Deere buys out shares of his partners after disagreements over product quality. To his partner's assertion that their customers would buy everything they made, Deere replied, "They don't have to buy everything we make—someone will beat us and we'll lose our business."



Business goes into decline during a nationwide financial crisis. Attempts to avoid bankruptcy lead to a change of ownership and reshuffles in the company's management apparatus. John Deere remains president, but the reins are being handed over to 21-year-old Charles Deere. He will run the company for the next 49 years.



Deere launches the Hawkeye ride-on cultivator, its first version with a seat. One of the innovations is a wooden peg that breaks on impact with a hard object, preserving the body of the plow. Deere & Company would introduce a similar plow concept in 1950 with the Sure-Trip safety system.



John Deere receives his first patent for steel plow molds. Soon after, another patent would be obtained, and a third in 1865.



Having existed for 31 years in the form of a partnership or sole proprietorship, the company was officially registered as a legal entity under the name Deere & Company. The company was originally owned by four co-owners, with John and Charles Dear controlling 65 percent of the shares.



Charles Dear and entrepreneur Alva Mansour established the company's first sales branch in Kansas City, Missouri. This semi-independent distributor becomes the forerunner of the company's current sales force. Within 20 years, five branches appeared throughout the country.



John Deere is elected mayor of Molina for a two-year term. He improved the road infrastructure (streets, sidewalks, street lighting and gutters).



Deere trademarks the jumping deer with the US Patent Office. This trademark is the longest continuously used American trademark of Fortune 500 companies.



Deere & Mansur Company is established in Moline to manufacture grain drills. In 1910, this separate entity from a similarly named Kansas City branch would become part of Deere & Company. Today, planters are still built at the same location at the John Deere Seeding plant in Moline, Illinois.



Gilpin's plow with wheels and seat, introduced in 1875, outperforms 50 other plows in field trials at the World's Fair in Paris, earning the first place a Sèvres vase worth 1,000 francs. Retail sales rise to 5198 the following year and reach 7824 in 1883.



Deere & Company commissioned the first power plant in Rock Island County. 1 dynamo, 16 single lamps, 1 switch, and 400 carbon electrodes were installed, purchased from the Brush Electric Company of Chicago for a total of over $3,000. The company conducted electricity for the first time in the district.



The five best-selling products in 1879-1883 traditional plows, Gilpin plows, cultivators, plows-rippers and harrows. Traditional plows accounted for a larger share of retail sales (224,062) than the other four products combined.



Founder John Deere dies at age 82. A few months earlier, he had told someone that "during his long life, his greatest consolation was that he never knowingly harmed any person and never put an inferior product on the market."



John Frolich tests the first successful gasoline-powered tractor. In 1918, John Deere would acquire the successor Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company.



The World's Columbian Exposition takes place in Chicago. Charles Dear serves as one of two representatives from Illinois. He commissioned the brass deer statues that can still be seen in many John Deere factories.



The Furrow begins publication as "the American farmer's magazine". By 1912, the number of readers of the magazine grows to 4 million. Today, it is published in 14 languages ​​for readers in 115 countries, making it the most widely distributed agricultural journal in the world.



Longtime President Charles Deere dies and his son-in-law William Butterworth succeeds him. During his 21-year tenure, annual sales will rise from $4.5 million to $61 million, and Deere will become a leader in harvesting equipment and tractors.



The John Deere Export Department is registered in New York to centralize equipment exports around the world. In 1911, Frank Silloway becomes leader and visits South America, England, France, Austria and Russia.



After years of mergers and acquisitions, Deere & Company now produces planters, buggies, carts, grain drills, and hay and harvest equipment. Sales rose from $5.2 million in 1910 to $30.7 million in 1913.



John Deere starts manufacturing tractors. During the launch of the 4WD tractor, Deere buys Waterloo Gasoline Engine, maker of Waterloo Boy tractors. In the first year, the company sells 5,634 Waterloo Boy tractors.



The oversaturated and speculative tractor market leads to overproduction in the industry and widespread fraud. As a result, Nebraska Tractor Tests was tasked with meeting industry performance standards. Test number 001 marks the John Deere Waterloo Boy N tractor.



Deere introduces its first 35hp No. 2 combine. with., available with a platform of 12 or 16 inches. A year later, Deere adds a smaller #1 combine with an 8", 10" or 12" cutterbar.



William Butterworth is elected president of the US Chamber of Commerce. Charles Dear Wyman, a military pilot demobilized with the rank of captain after World War I, is elected president. Butterworth maintains his influence in the newly created position of Chairman of the Board of Directors.



As a result of the Great Depression, the company accepted $12 million in IOUs from farmers and extended payment terms for tractors and farm equipment already purchased. As a result, sales fell by 86% between 1930 and 1932, but the high degree of loyalty to the farmers paid off.



Despite difficult financial times, Deere continues to introduce new products, including the Model "A" Tractor. A similar, but smaller, model "B" is released next year. These two models would be produced until 1952.



The "DI" tractor is introduced, the first John Deere tractor exclusively for industrial use.



Coming out of the Great Depression, John Deere is celebrating its 100th anniversary, reaching sales of over $100 million for the first time in the company's history.



Master of Industrial Design Henry Dreyfus works with Deere engineers to redesign Model A and Model B tractors. Concern for attractive design combines with traditional utilitarian values, becoming a special attribute of John Deere products.



President Charles Dear Wiman joins the US Army with the rank of colonel. Burton Pick becomes interim president of the company. Before returning to Deere in 1944, Wiman briefly ran the Agricultural Equipment and Machinery Division of the War Production Administration.



During World War II, Deere made army tractors, ammunition, aircraft parts, and cargo and laundry vans. The John Deere Battalion, made up of company employees and dealers, repairs tanks in Belgium and France during the war.



The new John Deere Dubuque Works built a Model M tractor. Two years later, "M" is produced in the form of a caterpillar tractor called "MC". After adding the front blade to the design, the tractor becomes a bulldozer. Versatile products predate John Deere's road construction and forestry business.



The No. 8 Cotton Picker becomes the first two-row self-propelled picker on the market. Its fast-rotating spiked spindles pick only mature cotton bolls every two or three picks.



For the first time, John Deere combines corn harvesting and dehusking tasks. Two-row corn header introduced. Paired with the new Model 45 combine, it allows the farmer to harvest up to 20 acres of corn in one operation.



Deere is building a small tractor assembly plant in Mexico and is also buying a majority stake in Heinrich Lanz, a German tractor and combine plant with a small share of the Spanish market. Today, John Deere does business around the world with branches in 35 countries.

The 743 John Deere Harvester combines the speed of rubber tires with the reach of the boom, paving the way for today's machines.

The history of a blacksmith named John Deere and the company of the same name, created by him in the 19th century, is closely intertwined with the colonization and development of the Midwest, an area that promised great opportunities for settlers and opened up great prospects.

John Deere was born on February 7, 1804 in Vermont, where he spent his childhood and adolescence, finishing school and taking a four-year course in blacksmithing. In 1825, John Deere began his career as an apprentice and soon gained respect and a good reputation for skill and craftsmanship. Forks and shovels he made were in particular demand in western Vermont.

The economic crisis has greatly affected the business environment in Vermont. The future for a young ambitious man was a rather bleak picture. Most Vermont natives emigrated to the Western states. Stories of great opportunities and prospects in other states captured John Deere so much that he decided to leave his own business and join the settlers, taking with him only tools and a little cash. After long weeks of travel, he stopped in a small town in Illinois, founded by immigrants from Vermont. The demand for blacksmithing was so great that just two days after arriving in Illinois, John Deere set up his own forge.

He then had a lot of work to do - making horseshoes for horses and cattle, repairing plows and other agricultural equipment for farmers. It was from the farmers that John learned that they were having difficulty working the sticky prairie soils. The steel plows they brought with them from the Eastern States were designed for light sandy soils. Plowing became a slow and laborious operation, leaving many discouraged and contemplated moving to other states. John Deere studied the problem carefully and came to the conclusion that the correct shape and moldboard of the plow should lead to its self-cleaning from sticky soil. So in 1837 a steel plow of a unique design was created, which successfully passed field tests. This plow was one of the first examples of custom-made agricultural machinery.

10 years after the creation of the legendary plow in 1848, John Deere was already making more than 1000 of these products a year. The principles of doing business, which guided him, have not lost their relevance today: “I will never put my name on a product that does not contain the best that is in me.” One of the founder's partners once expressed his dissatisfaction with the constant changes in product design, citing the fact that farmers would be forced to buy those plows that would be produced by the company. In response, John Deere observed that “farmers are not at all obliged to buy the plows we make. Someone else will do it for us and we will lose business.” Since then, Deer & Company has continuously continued to improve its products. In 1868, the company was registered as a corporation, in 1869 the son of the founder, Charles Deere, was appointed to the post of vice president, and later - president of the company.

Charles Dear was a prominent businessman who founded branch offices and a network of independent retail appliance dealers. By 1907, the corporation was already producing a range of steel plows, cultivators, seeders, and so on. During the tenure of the enterprise's third president, Deer and Company included six independent manufacturers of agricultural equipment, which allowed the corporation to produce the entire line of agricultural equipment. In 1918, the company bought a tractor factory in Waterloo, Iowa.

In 1928, John Deere's grandson, Charles Deere Wyman, took over the management of the company. While modern agriculture was booming, Charles' emphasis on engineering and technological excellence led to great success and significant growth for the business. Despite the Great Depression of the 1930s, the company reached the $100 million gross turnover mark for the first time in history in 1937. During the Second World War, Deer and Company continued to improve its products, which allowed it to take a strong position in the post-war market. Shortly before the death of Charles Deer Wyman, the company became one of the top 100 manufacturers in the American market.

Under the leadership of William Hewitt, who headed the company from 1955 to 1982, the company experienced a period of rapid take-off. Manufacturing and marketing operations have been established globally in various countries. The company has become a leading manufacturer of agricultural equipment, the largest manufacturer of construction and forestry equipment, and park and lawn care equipment in the world.

Robert Hanson, Mr. Hewitt's successor, worked for the company during a difficult economic and competitive period. Under his influence, the corporation acquired a dynamic flexible structure and reached a new level of sales, setting record levels in the last three years of the decade.

Hans Becherer was elected Chairman of the Board of Directors in 1990. He continued to develop international operations. Six times in Mr. Becherer's career, the company's profits have reached record levels. In August 2000, he retired. At this time, Robert V. Lane becomes the head of the company, who has extensive experience in the John Deere organization, including the management of the company's agricultural division and its credit institution.

Jonh Deere, also known as Deere & Company, is the world's leading manufacturer of equipment for the agricultural, forestry and construction industries. The products of this brand are also successfully used if lawn and park maintenance, landscaping and irrigation systems are needed.

The founder of the company was John Deere. It all started in 1837. His first invention then was a steel plow of a unique design. After 10 years, a successful entrepreneur was already producing 1,000 such copies a year.

Until 1946, the company was mainly engaged in agricultural products.

Starting in 1852 and over the next 16 years, the name of the company changed several times: John Deere, John Deere & Company, Deere & Company and Moline Plow Manufactory. In 1868, the Deere & Company Corporation was officially incorporated.

John Deere's history included a partnership with the current world leader in construction equipment, Caterpillar. In 1935 manufacturers joined forces to sell their products, especially in California. Strong at the beginning, cooperation weakened over time, completely ceasing in the mid-1960s.

Business relations with Russia John Deere began in the Soviet era. In June 2010, exactly 100 years have passed since the first delivery to Russia. True, these were mainly agricultural or logging machines. Construction equipment under the John Deere brand appeared in Russia only in 2009.

2010 was marked by the opening of a production center and a distribution center for John Deere spare parts in Domodedovo. The assembly of agricultural, construction and logging equipment began at the new production site.

It is worth noting that John Deere pays great attention to training. For example, a Training Center was opened in Domodedovo on the territory of the John Deere production complex and distribution center.

The company's head office is located in Moline, Illinois, USA. In Russia, John Deere has a plant for the production of sowing and tillage equipment in Orenburg, as well as a plant for the production of tractors, combine harvesters, construction and logging equipment in Domodedovo.

Construction equipment under the John Deere brand is mainly represented by bulldozers, loaders and backhoe loaders.

Tractor John Deere 9630T

John Deere tractors are very popular all over the world. The model range of JOHN DEERE is quite extensive and includes 9 series of machines. It is worth noting that tractors are produced on wheeled and caterpillar tracks. In this article, we will look at heavy equipment of grades 6-9, give specific examples and briefly talk about the history of the brand.

Back to the Ages
