Carnoustie Golf Links Chief Executive Michael Wells announced today that a strategic partnership with John Deere has been secured, following a detailed period of exclusive discussions between the two organisations, whose joint vision laid the groundwork for today’s announcement.

John Deere has developed two new mid-range trailed sprayers, designated the R700i Series. Premium features of the R732i and R740i models are precision and intelligent technology.

Based on customer demand for maximum uptime, John Deere has announced that from 7 July 2020, all new 6R Series tractors will be delivered with JDLink telematics as standard equipment.

Just eight months after launching its new generation 7R Series tractors at Agritechnica 2019, John Deere has announced another significant update to the range. The new flagship 7R 350 model offers an ideal power to weight ratio to deliver unmatched acceleration and transport efficiency.

Following their successful introduction at Agritechnica 2019, John Deere’s 6M Series tractors have been delivered to customers since January 2020. With this brand new tractor series, John Deere raised the bar in this tractor segment by delivering excellent visibility, manoeuvrability and unique payload capacity combined with more operator comfort, while reaching new performance levels.

We are living in uncertain times and people are heavily affected by the coronavirus pandemic. John Deere has been ‘sailing through these times’ pretty smoothly and our business outlook right now is much better than a few weeks ago. Digitalisation is currently booming, and without our Connected Support systems, dealers would not have been able to keep machines running in the field while keeping a safe distance from operators. They are successfully using a range of connected tools to remotely monitor and proactively service machines to increase uptime.

John Deere has announced that it has signed an agreement to sell SABO Maschinenfabrik to Mutares SE & Co. The transaction is contingent on regulatory approval by the Federal Cartel Office Bundeskartellamt, Germany's national competition regulator.

The 2020 Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in March moved across the Qatari capital for the first time in its 23-year history to Education City Golf Club. As a partner and equipment supplier, John Deere brought key customers to this prestigious event in order to review course maintenance solutions and performance under unique climatic and championship conditions.

As Gleneagles enters the fifth year of its partnership agreement with John Deere, its adoption of the latest precision spraying and mowing technology is paying off across the estate’s world-famous championship courses, The King’s, Queen’s and PGA Centenary, plus the 9-hole Wee Course.

Following last month’s announcement that John Deere dealer Netherton Tractors Ltd is to establish a new agricultural and homeowner equipment outlet in the Perth and Kinross area, a further expansion of the dealership’s territory is now being planned.
