Certified Pre-owned From Deere: What You Get With Your Machine

Nov 15, 2018

When you’re on the hunt for used John Deere tractor models or John Deere combine models that you can trust, go to the source. Deere has a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program which ensures access to high-quality, used equipment.

What is John Deere’s CPO Program?

John Deere’s CPO program is designed to ensure that customers are only receiving the best of the best when it comes to used models. Every model that qualifies under the CPO program comes with a one-year PowerGard Protection plan, which gives customers the coverage benefits of a new machine with the extra value of a pre-owned machine. All of the equipment that is a part the CPO program is field tested, inspected, and certified to ensure it’s ready to go as soon as it’s in the hands of customers. Furthermore, models that qualify under the CPO program come with a one-year JDLink Connect subscription for more insight into the machine’s data and analytics.

Which Machines Qualify?

There are several John Deere tractor models, John Deere combine models, and self-propelled sprayers that qualify for the CPO program.

7R Series tractors (three years old or newer with less than 1500 engine hours) – these tractors have high power density, a low overall machine weight, and high horsepower rating.
8R/8RT Series Tractors (three years old or newer with less than 1500 engine hours)
4WD wheel and track Tractors (three years old or newer with less than 1500 engine hours) – these tractors have a PowerTech™ PSS 9.0L engine for an ample amount of power to get through each workday.
S-Series Combines (two years old or newer with less than 1000 engine hours)
R4030, R4038, and R4045 Self-Propelled Sprayers (up to two years old with 1000 engine hours or less) – With a spacious cab and high-performance cleaning system, operating an S-Series combine is a breeze.

What are the Machine Inspection Points?

Some of the inspection points for the tractors include tires (percentage remaining), engine (oil level check), and power train (transmission operation check). When it comes to the combines, the cab (cab roof), feederhouse area (safety shields) and control system (fluid test) are some of the many inspection points taken into consideration. Finally, the self-propelled sprayers are closely examined as well, with the engine (air filter check), fuel system (lines and injectors) and electrical system (battery check) being just some of the inspection points that are taken into account.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
