MOLINE, Illinois (January 14, 2015) — As online video content continues its surge in popularity, John Deere is utilizing the platform to highlight the advantage of data analysis for machine optimization using John Deere WorkSight™ technologies.

“John Deere WorkSight is a tool that owners and operators are only just beginning to see its full potential,” said Liz Quinn, product marketing manager, John Deere WorkSight, John Deere Construction & Forestry. “Many of our customers do not realize the amount of data they have access to that can help increase productivity and performance for their businesses. We created these animations with one goal in mind – increasing our customers’ uptime and productivity.”
