John Deere Financial has announced two new spring finance programmes for customers in the UK, which will cover the John Deere 2500B triplex greens mower, the 2500E electric hybrid model, and the commercial 997 zero-turn mower.

The first interest free scheme will allow golf clubs and business customers to order any 2500B or 2500E greens cylinder mower from a John Deere dealer until the end of May 2013, with no payment necessary until October 2013.

The second scheme, which runs until the same date, allows customer making 4 + 44 monthly payments at 1.8 per cent interest to acquire a new 997 ZTR front rotary mower.

Finance is limited to 50 per cent of the respective machine’s market value on both schemes.

“In the current economic climate, financing new equipment can help any business to forecast and fix their capital investment costs, while also taking advantage of the latest available technology,” said John Deere Limited’s turf division sales manager Joedy Ibbotson. “These new programmes are designed to help golf clubs, private contractors and local authorities in particular to access the finance they need to purchase new equipment and keep their businesses running efficiently and cost-effectively.”
