“Following the success of our initial allied distribution agreement for our Gator line-up, we are thrilled to expand our partnership and offer our customers industry-proven WESTERN solutions compatible with our compact utility tractors,” said Mark Davey, go-to-market manager, John Deere. “We are confident that the portfolio of WESTERN snow removal products will help our customers handle snow and ice with ease and are excited to roll out this extended agreement ahead of another busy winter season.”
As it pertains to construction equipment offerings, in addition to the full line-up of compact wheel loaders, skid steer loaders, and compact track loaders, customers with select mid-size wheel loader models will also benefit from this agreement extension. WESTERN snow and ice control product offerings are now available for the 444 G-Tier, 444 P-Tier, 524 P-Tier, 544 G-Tier and 544 P-Tier Mid-Size Wheel Loaders.
