Are John Deere and Hitachi the same company?

Written by Admin | Last Updated: July 2026

Historically, many John Deere crawler excavators were manufactured in partnership with Hitachi through long-standing joint venture agreements, combining Hitachi's advanced hydraulic engineering with John Deere's North American distribution network. However, following the official dissolution of their joint manufacturing partnership, John Deere transitioned to designing and building its own proprietary excavator lines independently. While older legacy excavator models bear significant Hitachi engineering DNA and shared parts compatibility, modern Deere excavators are produced independently.
