“Since the launch of the 944K Hybrid Wheel Loader, we have reached over half a million hours in the field. Customers trust our machines and components, and they know they can count on our equipment to power through tough and challenging jobs,” Ryan Blades, director, C&F customer and product support for John Deere Construction & Forestry said.
“With the extension of the warranty offering, we are giving our customers an opportunity to go through a 15,000 to 18,000-hour machine rebuild without any concern about the longevity or reliability of the power electronic components.”
The extended warranty coverage includes the same 8-year or 20,000-hour (whichever comes first) nonprorated assurance on wheel motors, generators, power inverters and brake resistors.
This offer is extended to 31 July, 2020 and applicable to existing machines in the field and new 944K Hybrid Wheel Loaders. Certain customer conditions must be met to maintain warranty coverage. This includes component rotation between 15,000 and 18,000 hours; drive voltage cables replacement between 15,000 and 18,000 hours; and an annual dealer machine inspection.
