Keep your John Deere equipment ready for the work ahead with a limited-time Uptime Inspection Package from 21st Century Equipment. Farmers, ranchers, acreage owners, and equipment operators can sign up for an inspection and choose one free upgrade designed to reduce downtime, simplify equipment transportation, or protect against unexpected service needs.
What is the John Deere Uptime Inspection Package?
An Uptime Inspection is a proactive way to identify potential equipment issues before they become bigger problems during critical work windows. At 21st Century Equipment, our service teams understand that an equipment issue in the High Plains can mean more than a repair bill—it can mean lost field time, missed weather windows, or a long trip to the dealership.
For a limited time, qualifying customers who sign up for an Uptime Inspection can choose ONE FREE upgrade with their inspection:
- No-Cost Logistics Upgrade – Free truck pickup and delivery with zero transportation hassle or additional fees.
- Multi-Machine Savings Upgrade – Inspect more equipment for less: the first two machines are inspected at full cost, and the third machine inspection is FREE.
- Service Security Upgrade – Receive up to three FREE service calls on the repaired segment to help cover unexpected issues.
Offer valid September 1, 2026, through January 31, 2027, on qualifying services. Limit one free upgrade and one merchandise coupon per customer. Restrictions apply.
Why should I have my equipment inspected before it breaks down?
Preventative maintenance is especially important when equipment is working through tight planting, haying, harvest, feeding, and fall fieldwork schedules.
A John Deere 8R tractor, S-Series combine, sprayer, or even a compact tractor such as a John Deere 1025R or 3038E may perform reliably for years—but regular inspections can help identify wear, leaks, maintenance needs, and developing issues before they turn into unexpected downtime.
For High Plains producers, that proactive approach can be particularly valuable because equipment may work long hours and travel significant distances between fields, farms, and dealerships.
An inspection can help you make a plan for repairs while you have more control over when, where, and how the work gets completed.
Which free Uptime Inspection upgrade should I choose?
The right upgrade depends on your operation and how you use your equipment.
If your biggest concern is... | Consider this upgrade | How it can help |
|---|---|---|
Getting equipment to the dealership | No-Cost Logistics Upgrade | Free truck pickup and delivery |
Multiple machines needing attention | Multi-Machine Savings Upgrade | Third machine inspection is FREE |
Unexpected issues after repairs | Service Security Upgrade | Up to 3 FREE service calls on the repaired segment |
No-Cost Logistics Upgrade
Don't have time—or the transportation equipment—to get your machine to the dealership?
Choose the No-Cost Logistics Upgrade and receive free truck pickup and delivery, helping eliminate the transportation hassle and additional fees associated with getting your machine to the shop.
This can be particularly helpful for customers managing equipment across large farms and ranches throughout Nebraska, Colorado, and Wyoming.
Multi-Machine Savings Upgrade
Have more than one machine that needs an inspection?
The Multi-Machine Savings Upgrade is designed for customers who want to be proactive across their fleet. Pay the full inspection cost for your first two machines, and the third machine inspection is FREE.
This can make sense for operations preparing several tractors, combines, sprayers, or other machines for an upcoming season.
Service Security Upgrade
Want additional peace of mind after your repair?
With the Service Security Upgrade, customers can receive up to three FREE service calls on the repaired segment, helping cover unexpected issues that may arise after the inspection and repair.
What should High Plains equipment owners check before a busy season?
Equipment maintenance needs vary based on the machine, workload, environment, and operating conditions. Here are a few High Plains-specific considerations to discuss with your service team:
🌾 Nebraska
Long field days, irrigation operations, and intense planting and harvest windows can put significant hours on tractors and combines. Before a major season, ask your technician to look closely at wear items, fluid levels, belts, hoses, electrical systems, and other components relevant to your machine's maintenance schedule.
🏔️ Colorado
Dust, temperature swings, irrigation, dry conditions, and long travel distances can create unique operating challenges. If your equipment moves between fields or operations, an inspection can be a good opportunity to address developing issues before they become transportation or field problems.
🤠 Wyoming
Ranching and agricultural equipment may experience long hours, variable terrain, weather exposure, and significant travel between work locations. Pay particular attention to components affected by heavy use, road travel, dust, and changing operating conditions.
High Plains Pro-Tip: Don't wait until the first day you need a machine to find out it has a problem. If a tractor, combine, sprayer, or utility machine is critical to your operation, schedule its inspection early enough to allow time for parts and repairs before your busiest work window.
Can an Uptime Inspection help with John Deere precision technology?
Today's John Deere equipment isn't just mechanical—it often relies on integrated electronics, displays, guidance, connectivity, and precision technology.
Equipment equipped with technologies such as StarFire™ 7000, JDLink™, and John Deere Operations Center™ can require both mechanical and technology expertise to keep everything working together effectively.
For example, a producer bringing in a tractor equipped with precision agriculture technology can use an inspection as an opportunity to discuss both the machine's physical condition and any technology concerns that could affect productivity.
The 21st Century Equipment team supports customers throughout the High Plains with equipment service and precision agriculture expertise.
Expert Insight: “The goal of an Uptime Inspection isn't just to find what's wrong today—it's to identify what could become a problem tomorrow. Taking care of those issues before a critical work window gives customers more control over their downtime and their maintenance costs.” — 21st Century Equipment Service Manager
