Where Big Power Meets Small Prices
My John Deere is the 5045D Utility Tractor.
I was looking for a powerful tractor at a competitive price and GreenSouth delivered. They introduced me to their wide
selection of returned rentals—machines with less than 250 work hours on them that are available for purchase at a
great value. That meant I could bring home a rugged John Deere 5045D Utility Tractor for less than I expected.
A hardworking tractor at an unbeatable price? That's exactly what I was looking for.
That's my John Deere. What's Yours?
