Master Your Machine: Join Our Monthly John Deere Yard Classes

Ever looked at your tractor and wished it came with a "human-to-machine" translator? We know that getting the most out of your equipment means more than just turning the key.

That’s why we’re opening up "The Backyard" for a series of monthly workshops. Our goal is to take the mystery out of maintenance and help you feel like a pro in the operator's seat.

How Do Yard Classes Help Our Local Homeowners and Producers?

We’ve been serving the High Plains for a long time, and our technicians have seen it all. We realized that a little bit of "shop talk" can go a long way in preventing "shop time."

By attending these classes, you’re gaining access to the same expertise we use in our service bays. We’ll show you the "why" behind the "how," ensuring your 1 Series or 2 Series tractor stays in peak condition for years to come.

What Will You Learn at the Upcoming Yard Classes?

Each session is designed to be interactive and hands-on. We aren't just pointing at manuals; we’re getting under the hood and around the mower deck.

Pueblo’s Kickoff Class (April 4, 2026):

• Series 1 & 2 In-Depth Look: Understanding your tractor's specific capabilities.
• Attachment Mastery: Step-by-step guides for loader and mower deck removal.
• Quick-Hitch Tips: How to swap implements without the headache.
• Daily Inspection Points: The "Must-Check" list to avoid unexpected downtime.

Meet Your Backyard Specialists

Our classes are led by experts like Muire Jones in Pueblo. Muire brings years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of John Deere residential and utility systems.

Whether you’re a first-time owner or a seasoned operator, Muire and our team use their industry knowledge to provide personalized guidance you won't find in a YouTube video.

When and Where Can You Attend a Yard Class?

We’re rolling these out across our Front Range locations to make sure everyone has a chance to join the fun. All classes begin at 10:00 AM on the first Saturday of the month.

Stay in the Loop for Future Topics

From baler basics to lawn tractor leaf-collection kits, we’ll be changing up the topics every month. Keep an eye on our website and social media pages for the latest schedule, or simply give your local Backyard store a ring!

Common Questions About 21st Century Equipment Yard Classes

Is there a fee to attend the Yard Classes? Nope! These community workshops are a free resource provided by our Backyard team to help you succeed with your equipment.

Do I need to bring my own tractor to the class? While we love seeing your machines, you don't need to bring yours! We’ll have the relevant Series 1, 2, or other equipment on-site for demonstrations.

Are these classes suitable for beginners? Absolutely. We specifically tailor these sessions to be helpful for everyone, from the folks who just took delivery of their first sub-compact tractor to those looking for a refresher on attachment maintenance.

What happens if a class falls on a holiday weekend? If the first Saturday of the month is a holiday, we may shift the date. We’ll post any schedule changes on our official social media accounts well in advance.

Keep an eye on our website, social media accounts, or contact your local Backyard store to see more about the topics for each class.
