My Experience with John Deere Service Advisor 5.4

Just wanted to share some feedback for anyone considering Service Advisor. I’ve been using the new John Deere Service Advisor 5.4 and honestly it’s been a big improvement over the older versions. The software works fully offline, has all the diagnostics, troubleshooting, calibrations, and manuals you’d expect, and it even connects smoothly with Nexiq USB Link 3 (not just EDL).

It’s saved me both time and money by cutting back on dealer visits, especially during busy seasons. If you’re working with tractors or construction/forestry equipment, I’d definitely recommend checking it out:

John Deere Service Advisor 5.4 Construction & Forestry

Hope this helps someone who’s been on the fence about upgrading.

This is either a great deal, or a bit fishy. Deere doesn't sell Service Advisor anymore. It's now called Operations Center Pro Service. And all versions are annual subscriptions, not single purchase. You can get it for a single PIN for about $200 which isn't bad. For unlimted PINs, or for a service business the license is $5000 to $6000 /yr.

If you buy what's referenced in the above post, I have no idea what you would get, and how that relates to Deere's offerings. Caution is advised.
