John Deere expands construction and forestry business

John Deere is expanding its Australian dealer network for construction and forestry machinery

John Deere has announced it is expanding its construction and forestry business dealer footprint across New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia.

Effective August 1, 2025, Hutcheon & Pearce will be the new John Deere dealer for construction and forestry equipment across Northern Victoria and the majority of New South Wales.

Hutcheon & Pearce has a 70-year legacy supporting Australian agriculture and compact construction equipment. With 20 dealership locations, the family-owned business is now extending its service and support to customers in the construction and forestry sectors.

Brandt Australia will become the new John Deere dealer for Construction & Forestry equipment for the majority of Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. With their Australian Headquarters in Ballarat, Victoria, Brandt is a family-owned company that has grown from a single John Deere Construction & Forestry dealership location in 1992 to one of the largest John Deere dealerships globally.

RDO Equipment will continue its 60-year Australian legacy of innovation and industry partnership within Northern New South Wales, Queensland and Northern Territory. This consolidation will allow RDO to focus more intently on the end-to-end needs of customers across John Deere’s construction, forestry, agricultural and turf offering.

“This expansion marks a significant milestone in our commitment to supporting the Australian construction and forestry industries,” John Deere says.

“With one of the largest dealer footprints in the country, John Deere is well positioned to deliver the equipment, service, and support our customers rely on, no matter where their next project takes them. We thank our customers for their continued trust and partnership as we grow together.”

RDO Equipment will continue to provide sales, parts and service support as Hutcheon & Pearce and Brandt ramp up their construction and forestry operations effective from August 1. Impacted customers will receive direct communications from John Deere and its dealer partners.

As part of the expansion, John Deere will now have over 60 locations nationwide, enhancing its ability to meet customer needs with greater accessibility, service and support.
