Smooth Savings: How to Fuel Your Fleet with the John Deere Bulk Oil Program

Save Time and Money on Maintenance

The John Deere Bulk Oil Program allows high-volume equipment owners to reduce maintenance costs and environmental waste by purchasing premium Plus-50™ II oil in large quantities. By switching to bulk, you eliminate the hassle of individual gallon jugs and ensure your fleet is always running on the highest-quality lubricant available.

Maximize Efficiency with the John Deere Bulk Oil Program

Running a busy operation means you have enough on your plate without tripping over empty oil jugs in the shop. At The Backyard, we know that keeping your tractors in peak condition shouldn't break the bank or clutter your workspace.

Our team has decades of experience helping neighbors manage their maintenance schedules more effectively. We believe that professional-grade service should be accessible, and our Bulk Oil Program is designed to give you the "pro" advantage right at home.

How Can Bulk Oil Delivery Reduce Your Operational Costs?

When you step up to bulk, you aren't just buying oil; you're investing in a more streamlined shop. We’ve seen firsthand how this shift helps property owners and farmers focus on the work that matters.

  • Lower Cost Per Gallon: Buying in volume significantly reduces the price point compared to individual quart or gallon containers.
  • Environmental Impact: Fewer plastic jugs mean less waste heading to the landfill and a cleaner, more organized shop floor.
  • Always Ready: Having a dedicated bulk tank ensures you never have to put a project on hold because you ran out of supplies mid-service.

Why Does Our Team’s Expertise Ensure Your Fleet Stays Protected?

Choosing the right lubricant is the "lifeblood" of your engine's longevity. We are proud to highlight that our parts department is led by experts like Gregg Lockman, who brings over 25 years of specialized experience in John Deere fluid analysis and logistics.

Gregg and our team at the Sterling, CO location hold the John Deere Parts Professional Certification, meaning they understand the exact viscosity and additive requirements for your specific model. This expertise ensures that the oil delivered to your tank meets the rigorous standards required to maintain your warranty and keep your engine purring for thousands of hours.

How Do I Check Eligibility for My Property?

While we strive to help every neighbor, our bulk delivery routes are optimized to ensure timely service within our specific area of responsibility.

Steps to Get Started:

  • Contact Your Representative: Reach out to your local parts department to verify if your location is on our current delivery route.
  • Assess Your Volume: We can help you determine if your fleet size justifies a bulk setup or if a different program fits better.
  • Schedule Your Setup: Once confirmed, we’ll work with you to coordinate a delivery schedule that keeps your tanks topped off.
