John Deere is extending its JDLink Ultimate service in base subscription from three to five years for its production-scale customers.
JDLink is a telematics system designed to remotely connect owners and managers to their equipment, says the company. The system also provides operators with alerts and machine information, including location, utilization, performance and maintenance data, which can help avoid downtime and keep costs low.
“Production-scale customers are different,” says Jena Holtberg-Benge, director of John Deere WorkSight. “They work in high-volume, high-production situations, so they need their equipment to run longer and harder than ever – sometimes around the clock. These customers told us they have a different set of needs, and we listened. We responded by providing the two additional years of JDLink Ultimate, more proof that we are partnering with our customers and our dealers to make sure their machines stay up and running.”
Equipment covered in this extension includes the 250D-II, 300D-II, 370E, 410E and 460E articulated dump trucks; 1050K crawler dozer; 470G, 670G and 870G excavators; and 744K-II, 824K-II, 844K-II and 944K wheel loaders.
