sea salt harvesting in Brazil became twice as efficient when the company switched to John Deere equipment


An engineer with Salinas do Nordeste, a 30-year old company that produces 45% of Brazil’s sea salt, contacted Veneza Equipment, who went to work studying the effects of the salt on the John Deere equipment, and after making a couple of changes and improvements, got down to salt production

After almost six months of negotiation – and development of specific product solutions – Salinor became a Deere customer in 2016.


The negotiation resulted in the delivery of a big package of Deere products: two Backhoe 310K Loaders, eight 724K Loaders, four 670G Moto Graders, four 210G Excavators, four 750J Crawler Dozers, In addition, Salinor purchased six 6145J and four 5078E Tractors.

About one year later, Salinor had reduced its number of salt extraction machines from 80 to 40, as the Deere equipment proved to be more efficient.

“John Deere arrived at the moment we needed to increase the size of our equipment, so that we could harvest the salt quicker,” said Airton Torres, the administrator of Salinor.

  1. Wait till they find out that Deere equipment can only be repaired by Deere factory mechanics

    And that even the smallest sensor has to be installed and then programmed to communicate with the on board computer which can only be done by a Deere mechanic with a Deere laptop

    Every other tractor manufacturer you just change the sensor and get back to work
