John Deere
John Deere Repair Services Antitrust Settlement
Owners who paid Deere or its dealers for repairs on large agricultural equipment between January 10, 2018 and May 18, 2026 may share a $99 million fund based on repair labor hours. Claim estimates the payment at $250 to $1,000 per approved claim. Claims are due December 31, 2026.
Key facts
The lawsuit alleges that Deere restricted access to repair tools and information for its large agricultural equipment, so owners paid more for repairs at authorized dealers. John Deere denies any wrongdoing.
What could you receive?
Approved claimants share the net settlement fund remaining from the $99 million cash settlement in proportion to the labor hours of qualifying dealer repair services they paid for. Claim estimates the payment at about $250 to $1,000 per approved claim. That is a Claim estimate, not an amount set by the court. The final amount depends on the total hours claimed and the fees and costs the court approves. The separate repair-access changes in the settlement do not require a claim.
What information is needed?
Many repair records are already loaded for people who received a notice with a Notice ID and confirmation code. People without a notice, or with repairs missing from the records, must provide repair records or other documentation, and the administrator may ask for more.
What dates matter?
Claims must be submitted online or received by December 31, 2026. The exclusion and objection deadline is December 4, 2026. A final approval hearing is scheduled for January 19, 2027. A scheduled hearing does not mean the settlement has final approval, and no payment date is set.
Who may qualify
People and businesses who paid Deere or an authorized dealer in the United States for repair services on Deere large agricultural equipment between January 10, 2018 and May 18, 2026 may qualify. Factory-warranty repairs do not count toward a payment.
What proof do you need?
Do you need proof of purchase?
For this settlement, you’ll need proof for some claims but not others. Many repair records are already loaded for people who received a notice with a Notice ID and confirmation code. People without a notice, or with repairs missing from the records, must provide repair records or other documentation, and the administrator may ask for more.
Where do these requirements come from?
From the official settlement notice - the document that sets out who qualifies and what they have to provide. Claim summarizes it; Claim does not set it. Where the notice and this page disagree, the notice is the one that counts.
How can I check a settlement email or text?
Who is the administrator?
The administrator's identity has not yet been verified for this page. An administrator may already be named in the official settlement notice; Claim has not confirmed it here. Until then, treat any email or text about this case as unverified.
Is the sender's name enough to trust the message?
No. A sender name, a display name, a reply-to address and even a case number can all be copied. Check the case name and number in the message against the ones on this page, and reach the court-authorized settlement website yourself rather than through a link or button in the message.
What warning signs should I look for?
Any request for a fee, a payment or a wire to release settlement money. Any request for full banking login details. Pressure to act straight away. A web address that does not match the one in the official notice. Genuine notices identify the case by name and number and explain how payment is made.
Claim helps you check whether you may qualify, understand the official requirements, and keep track of settlement deadlines.
