There’s the field where farmers use our machines. And then there’s the field of agricultural equipment makers like AGCO...And figuratively speaking, we’re doing everything we can to un-level it.
“For the farmers. For the people working for them. For ourselves. For the future.”
Every day, we work hard to support our customers.
We do so in many ways, especially through our AGCO Dealers who continuously invest in training, tools and support programs; keeping their technicians up to date with the technical knowledge and capabilities required to service the machines customers depend on.
Providing the high-tech tools needed to support our customers is part of AGCO's commitment to service. AGCO and its global network of dealers are continuously investing resources into state-of-the-art technical work tools that help deliver on our mission and our commitment to being true team players.

Provides the dealer the ability to perform machine-specific delivery inspections using a laptop or mobile device. Tech Connect PDI will ensure that the machine has arrived in the expected condition free of any defects introduced during the manufacturing process and possible damage caused during transport.

Tech Connect Knowledge Objects provides access to AGCO's knowledge database with a streamlined full-text search capability. Its key benefits include:
AGCO supports farmers and the right to repair their equipment.
This includes the need to provide customers with information and tools to maintain, diagnose, and repair their equipment. AGCO created a customer diagnostic tool, Tech Connect Diagnostics-CV (TCD-CV). TCD-CV is a module in the Tech Connect Suite that can be made available to customers to assist in maintaining, diagnosing, and repairing their equipment.
TCD-CV is a web-based application available for rental from authorized dealers who sell and service the customer’s particular brand. This application will allow access to any TCD-CV-supported models the dealer is contracted to sell.
TCD-CV access is ordered by an authorized dealer via the AGCO service tools website. TCD-CV has multiple rental time periods available: 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. The package includes:
Access is a simple order process placed through an authorized dealer.
This tool package will allow the user access to the following functionality:
The dealer is the customer’s main contact for questions pertaining to the use and support of TCD-CV. Much of this support is included in the Quick-Start Guides built into the TCD-CV application. The customer must go through their local dealer for support. It is important to understand that additional charges may apply, beyond the initial rental fee, for after-sales support of this product. Customer support response time expectations via the supporting dealer for TCD-CV will be 1-2 business days.
For many years, farmers and AGCO dealers relied solely on basic tools for diagnosing and repairing equipment. As technology advanced, AGCO developed onboard diagnostic capabilities in many of our more advanced machines to provide easier diagnosis for both our customers and our dealers. While a high percentage of repairs and diagnostics on current AGCO products can be completed using a combination of on-board diagnostics and basic tools, AGCO recognized the need to develop and provide additional diagnostic tools to our customers on future machines due to the continued advancements in technology.
As AGCO rolls out new products, we will be incorporating a new diagnostic feature that allows for easier customer diagnostic capabilities using TCD-CV. This new feature helps protect critical systems from modification while allowing access to all machine diagnostic information.
Please contact your dealer for the latest TCD-CV compatible model availability.
