This is an expansion of the John Deere Protect™ program.
In April 2021, John Deere released the John Deere Protect Service Plan to better support customers through improved aftermarket and support capabilities. John Deere is now releasing the John Deere Protect Parts & Fluids Plan, which includes the same great John Deere Protect benefits, but with the added flexibility of having the preventative maintenance labour and inspection performed by the customer's own technicians. Both the John Deere Protect Service Plan and the John Deere Protect Parts & Fluids Plan, help customers manage long-term ownership costs, and provide flexibility for customers to maintain their machines.
Where on-site service by a dealership technician is not possible or practical, the John Deere Protect Parts & Fluids Plan provides customers with options to conduct maintenance services and inspection while utilizing their own technicians. The John Deere Protect Parts & Fluids Plan will be available for select John Deere construction equipment in the United States and Canada starting on March 1, 2022. Source
