MILESTONE MACHINE FOR JOHN DEERE
Five millionth unit of riding lawn equipment

John Deere recently marked a manufacturing milestone with the completion of the five millionth unit of riding lawn equipment built at the company’s Power Products factory in Greeneville, Tennessee.

 


Originally founded as a small, satellite factory, Power Products is now the highest volume facility for John Deere and is responsible for manufacturing many of the lawnmowers sold by the brand. The facility was established in 1988 and celebrated its 30th anniversary last July.


“The production of the five millionth machine is a significant milestone for the Power Products team, John Deere and our loyal customers,” said factory manager Jeff Hollett. “We take immense pride in the legacy we have built here in Greeneville, and to know we have built five million machines is something we are really proud of.”


The Power Products facility currently manufactures the John Deere 100 Series small ride-on models as well as the S240 lawn tractor and the Z300 and Z500 Series ZTrak zero-turn mowers.


“The production of five million units really puts into perspective what we do here on a daily basis,” said Jeff Hollett. “It’s more than just manufacturing machines to help people look after their lawn. It’s about our unwavering commitment to quality and integrity. This is the only way we were able to reach this milestone, which is a testament to the long-term success of John Deere Power Products.”
