The friendships and relationships created are lifelong. 4 P G A To u r / F e e d b a c k / J D C l a s s i c John Deere Classic Working with – and on par with – the best The golf world has a partner in John Deere. Whether it’s historic U.S. Open sites like Olympia Fields and Shinnecock Hills, the Open Championship or the Ladies European Tour, the most prestigious tournaments in golf trust the name John Deere. Over the years, this partnership has evolved and strengthened, reflecting John Deere’s commitment to the sport. For almost a decade, we’ve been the “Official Golf Course Equipment Supplier of the PGA TOUR”, providing a full range of golf equipment to each of the PGA TOUR’s TPC courses. This vote of confidence has only become stronger. John Deere is also the PGA Tour’s “Exclusive Irrigation Supplier”. And now, also the Official Equipment Supplier to the Ladies European Tour. Perhaps the strongest example of the unity between Deere & Company and the PGA TOUR is the prestigious John Deere Classic, held each July amidst the rolling hills and vistas of TPC Deere Run. The tournament and partnership have proved so successful that both parties have agreed to extend their involvement until 2010. We consider it the single most important event we do each year. Our Feedback programme brings hundreds of superintendents and technicians from all around the world together to look at and survey prototypes and concept machines. They’re encouraged to open every hood and inspect every nut and bolt. The insight we get from these sessions has impacted virtually every significant product in the John Deere Golf line. The programme has proved so invaluable, in fact, that we’ve expanded it worldwide. The 2500E Hybrid Riding Greens Mower’s design was driven by Feedback evaluations. Making greens so gorgeous, players won’t mind three-putting on them Greens Equipment 6 Greens Equipment Greens are a proud focal point of your course. That’s why we’ve put so many hours in over the years, making sure our equipment consistently delivers an unmatched quality of cut. Attention to detail, craftsmanship and devotion set your greens apart. The same goes for our greens mowers. The 2500B Triplex Riding Greens Mower contains a patented offset cutting design, which eliminates “triplex” ring. The 2500E Hybrid Riding Greens Mower uses an exclusive design that drives the cutting units with electric reel motors instead of hydraulics. Our 18, 22 and 26 inch C-Series Walk Behind Greens Mowers feature a reliable dualchain drive system for years of continuous service. “The walk behind greens mowers are bar-none the best in the industry.” Stephen Tucker Equipment Manager, Ritz-Carlton Members Golf Club • Sarasota, Fla. 7 Never wavers down the line Introducing the 2008 PrecisionCut Series No fairway mower leaves behind a straighter cut down the line. Because, for the first time in a fairway mower, double-acting steering cylinders equalise right and left pressure and take the pressure off you to hold things straight. Power? There’s plenty of it with 35.7 and 41.7 net hp diesel turbo-charged engines. Large displacement front wheel motors on 2WD models offer outstanding climbing performance. And there’s the all-new GRIP All-Wheel Drive Traction System which routes flow from the wheel that slips to the one that grips. Ensures superior hillside and uphill traction. We even found room to give you 7.5 cm (3 in) more legroom. So, if you want picture-perfect striping and an excellent cut from the landing areas to the slopes, here’s your ride. The 7000 and 8000 PrecisionCut Series comes with 22 inch standard bedknife-to-reel cutting units or 22 inch ESP reel-to-bedknife cutting units, delivering the best frequency of clip in the industry. 8 Fairway Equipment Fairway Equipment 9 The ability to play rough Tee/Approach/Rough The new 8800 TerrainCut Mower is made to easily handle the rough and semi rough parts of your course. Besides exceptional climbing power on all models, the TerrainCut Series Mowers are standard equipped with the GRIP All-Wheel Drive Traction System for undulations, hillsides or tight turns. More impressively, the 7400 TerrainCut offers deep mower decks with a double-acting yoke system that allows them to pivot front and back to follow ground contours. The 2653B Trim and Surrounds Mower features a traction system which enables it to quickly climb and mow mounds. Operators of any size will enjoy the increased legroom. Servicing the 2653B is easy thanks to on-board diagnostics and parts commonality with other Deere machines. The 8800 features five 59 cm (21 in) independent rotary rear discharge decks for a total cutting width of 88 inches. 10 Te e / A p p r o a c h / R o u g h 7400 TerrainCut Mower 8800 TerrainCut Mower 2653B Trim and Surrounds Mower Bunker The 1200A Bunker Rake is the professional choice for power, reliability and ease of service.

Bunker 11 Aeration & Debris Maintenance 12 Aeration & Debris Maintenance Precision meets power The Aercore 800 cuts a wide, 80 cm (31.5 in) swath for precision aeration – even on undulating turf and it makes leaks a thing of the past. All this, plus kevlar-reinforced belts for quiet operation and Flexi-link® supporting arms for high quality holes. You can even verticut thanks to an optional verticutter attachment which enables aerating, verticutting or simultaneously aerating and verticutting. Aercore 2000 Pulverise aeration cores to a fine powder with the CP48 Core Pulveriser or clear the green of aeration cores, sand, clippings, leaves or thatch quickly and easily with the TC125 Collection System.

From what I’ve seen so far, you can set the arcs easily, the droplet size, coverage and spread pattern of the water are very good and it’s also very easy to set up the heads for spot treatments. They are very straightforward to work on too, which is another good feature.” Paul Coleman • Superintendent • Dromoland’s Golf Course, Ireland 18 Golf Irrigation Golf Irrigation More brains Less water John Deere Golf Irrigation takes full advantage of digital technology and wireless communications like no other. Field controllers can manage other controllers without a central. Run times can be set to the second to maximise water efficiency.

Refined over 165 years, the system includes overnight delivery of most parts, John Deere trained technicians and a Dealer Technical Assistance Centre (DTAC) system that links every John Deere dealership in the world to a constantly updated list of identified service issues and solutions. The evidence: A part that shows up on time, years of experience behind the tools of a technician and a machine ready when we said it would be. Every time.

John Deere is prepared to deliver any part, any place, any time. A Flash (Machine Down) emergency order system runs 24 hours a day during the season. John Deere offers an unequalled interconnected global replacement parts network that stretches across stocking warehouses in Europe and the USA right to your dealer’s parts counter. Every technician at a John Deere dealership is a true professional. Every one is required to complete an education programme that includes extensive communication and diagnostic system training. What makes original John Deere parts so good To keep a John Deere piece of equipment running the way it was meant to, you can’t make a better choice than its original parts. Take bedknives and reels for instance. In manufacturing our own, we ensured our reels would be hard enough to hold an edge but not so hard that the blades become brittle and fragment. No wonder in independent tests, non-genuine bedknives lost an average of 25% more weight than John Deere bedknives. During the same tests, non-genuine reels and bedknives needed an average of 34% more adjuster movement than the John Deere’s. Once, again, it’s just one more way reliability is our strength. .JOHNDEERE COM 21 Keeping you ahead of the game It’s the age-old question: How to keep your course looking green without going into the red?
