John Deere Announces B30 Biodiesel Compatibility Across Engine Portfolio

John Deere is officially increasing the renewable fuel capabilities of its engines, allowing customers to use B30 biodiesel (30%) in all Tier 4 engines. This is a significant increase from the previous B20 limitation, which was announced during the 2025 Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois. Pierre Guyot, the SVP of John Deere Power Systems, stated that this is an example of how John Deere is investing in renewable fuels. This upgrade will help U.S. soybean farmers, rural economies, and will support cleaner agriculture. Customers are advised to check with their fuel suppliers before using B30 in their engines. This announcement is one of the latest updates from the mobile hydraulic industry, continuing a shift toward sustainability and higher-blend fuel use.
