Benefits of Owning a John Deere Dealership

How we strategically support your business

  • You'll be in good company

    Brand Recognition

    One of the biggest competitive advantages for our dealers is the John Deere name and brand. Since 1837, the name John Deere has stood for quality products and service — which are exactly what your customers deserve.

    Full Product Line

    John Deere dealers offer full-service product lines of agriculture and turf as well as construction and forestry equipment. Along with those products, they have access to an extensive parts distribution network, solid technical support, and award-winning advertising and promotion. Add our field support, sales, and marketing staffs, and you have thousands of professionals ready to help your dealership thrive.

    Independently Owned Dealerships

    Most John Deere dealerships are independently owned, with the capacity for sales to distributors, dealers, and associated resale companies around the world. As an owner, you chart the course for your dealership, and opportunities for growth are abundant.

    Purchasing Your Own Dealership

    The sale of a John Deere dealership is privately negotiated between the owner and the prospective buyer. However, dealers do have a contract with either Deere & Company (for agricultural and turf equipment dealerships) or the John Deere Construction & Forestry Company (for construction and forestry equipment dealerships) to sell its products. Therefore, the issuance of a dealer contract is subject to approval by John Deere. This warrants that the prospective buyer will have sufficient resources to adequately represent the John Deere brand and product in the marketplace.
