Read More (About John Deere)John Deere’s roots go all the way back to 1837 when Deere himself, a blacksmith working in Grand Detour, Illinois, created the first steel plow. It was designed to work the particularly hard soil found in the Midwestern United States. However, it was in 1966 that the manufacturer first brought its products, including farm machinery, construction equipment, and more, over to the UK, establishing a dealer network and a headquarters in Langar, Nottinghamshire.
While John Deere has built its reputation on tractors and other machines for more than a century and a half, it also has a large presence in the turf equipment marketplace. John Deere Golf was established in 1987 and is the official golf course maintenance supplier of the PGA Tour. It is also associated with several organizations throughout Europe, including the Federation of the European Golf Greenkeepers Association (FEGGA), Golf Course Superintendent Association of Ireland (GCSAI), and many others.
