John Deere reports on the status of its new excavator line

In August of 2021, John Deere and Hitachi Construction Machinery announced the end of their long-standing joint venture, which saw the manufacture and selling of Hitachi construction equipment in the Americas under the Deere brand.

Fast forward to Conexpo in March of last year, and Deere was showing a sneak preview of a new Future Generations excavator line solely designed and produced by the US-based OEM.

Recently, at The ARA Show in New Orleans, we spoke to John Deere’s Derek Betcher about the current status of the excavator line, as well as other things on the horizon for the company and its customers.
