Deere has not, however, enjoyed this significant level of share in the heavy construction industry and has never offered a product as large as the new JD 750. Over the past 10 years, we have invested nearly $70M in development and production for this innovative new line, and are ready to begin promoting the JD 750. We have received a promotional budget of $300k, and must decide on the price to communicate to our dealers. Recommendations I recommend that Deere & Company price the JD 750 at the same market price as the Cat D5 product. By pricing at parity and focusing our advertising on the superior performance and standard higher quality feature set of our JD 750 in comparison to the Cat D5, we can capture market share and bring in an estimated $45M in line profits.
