Michigan Farm Bureau members can sign up for an automatic John Deere Rewards membership upgrade.
Date Posted: December 9, 2021

Is your John Deere machinery ready for winter?

Start with the proper fluids: Consult your operator's manual to ensure you have the right lubricants in your machine for your temperature conditions. 

In the woods…

  • Allow fluids to warm up before max-speed operation. John Deere skidders are equipped with automatic transmission warmup, which prevents operation until warmup is complete.
  • Park overnight on a hard surface to help minimize the risk of the bottom freezing to the ground.
