At today’s John Deere product launch we went to classes on utility tractors. I think we had about 6 different stations where we could listen to presentations and then get to ride and drive on our own.
One item that got a lot of attention today was the new easily detachable underbelly mowers for these utility tractors. After you drop them on the ground there are just 2 latches to undo and then you can back off over top of the mower. There’s no need to pull the heavy mower out from under the tractor. Then you just drive back on top of the mower and it automatically latches itself back on to the tractor.
I shot a short video clip at the demonstration station where this new product was being showcased.
I’ll have a lot more content from today’s event but it’s late and Cindy will be on live blogging the AEM AgExecutive Forum in the morning while we’re in presentations from John Deere representatives here at the hotel.
