The decision highlights the broader impact of John Deere’s restructuring strategy, which not only ends the Mazzotti brand but also includes the closure of the company’s manufacturing facility in Ravenna, Italy.

Production Ends

Kverneland confirmed it will stop sales of the iXdrive sprayer and is no longer accepting orders for new machines.

The self-propelled model depended on chassis produced by Mazzotti, and Kverneland does not plan to source an alternative supplier.

Key developments include:

• Production of the iXdrive sprayer will be discontinued

• Orders for new units have been halted

• No direct successor has been announced

• Kverneland is evaluating potential future alternatives

Service Support Continues

Despite the end of production, Kverneland stated it will continue to provide technical support and aftermarket service for existing machines.

The company is also in discussions with John Deere regarding the supply of components required to maintain the installed fleet.

Industry Impact

The case illustrates how consolidation decisions by major global manufacturers can affect equipment programs beyond their own brands.

John Deere’s move to shut down Mazzotti operations removes not only a specialized sprayer brand from the market, but also a manufacturing and supply platform used by other agricultural equipment companies.
