Home Depot and John Deere announce agreement

Deere & Co. and The Home Depot announced an agreement to sell a new line of John Deere-branded lawn and garden tractors in the retailer’s more than 1,400 home improvement stores beginning early next spring.

The agreement places John Deere-branded riding mowing equipment for sale in the mass channel for the first time in John Deere’s history. Models of the new John Deere 100-series lawn tractors will be sold at The Home Depot and at John Deere dealers. The dealers will continue to sell John Deere’s broad range of lawn and garden equipment. Additionally, John Deere dealers will provide support and service for lawn tractors sold both at the dealers and at The Home Depot.
