"After we developed the new platforms, our local engine supplier let us down badly. We had to find a new supplier quickly, one we could rely on. John Deere was definitely the best on price and availability. With minor changes to the engine mounts, the PowerTech 4045D fit the bill," says Justin Rylands, maintenance manager with Harvetec, a manufacturer of harvesting platforms.
Mike Morgan has a long history with John Deere engines, purchasing the first models from his uncle when he began farming. "Those engines were purchased new in 1982, and they're still running today," relates Mike. "They still do the job, so why get rid of them?"
