Step inside the multi-year effort to reimagine John Deere's excavator lineup, starting at the beginning. You’ll meet the teams behind the prototypes, the plant changes, and the hard-earned confidence that comes from doing it the right way. A few job titles may have changed since we started filming, but the All In commitment never wavered. Like you, we're Never Idle. Because the future of excavators doesn't build itself.

TESTING THE LIMITS OF TESTING

155 test units. Hundreds of Test Pilots. Hundreds of test sites that look remarkably like your job sites. This is what All In looks like.

  • "I've got about 70 excavators, and this one's been, by far, one of the best out of the box. The downtime has been almost zero in a year."

  • "Any of my operators can text Deere's engineers with an idea or something they would like to see improved, and they immediately get a response saying, 'Hey, we hear you.' The fact that we're able to speak into it and help Deere turn out a top-of-the-line product, that's fun to be a part of."

  • "When I hear the word prototype and attach it to a piece of equipment, I'd probably think it's kind of half assed. Honestly, this was definitely not the situation here. This is very polished. Deere is definitely taking this one personally."

  • "We get to work in the morning, and everybody wants to hop in this machine, because of the cab size, the power, ...the maneuverability, ...the cameras. So, yeah, it's a fight to run this machine."

  • "We've put 1,400 hours on this machine in seven months. And it's not just a lot of hours it's a lot of harsh hours. In the summer we average 105 degrees. The machine is holding up great. We're proud to run it."
