Swan has partnered with distinguished American brand John Deere in creating a line of licensed garden hoses that are best in class.
As the leading manufacturer of the highest-quality, best-performing garden hoses on the market, Swan felt it was the perfect fit for the top global brand in the agricultural and industrial space and its devoted customers.
The initial results are two garden hose lines that showcase the core values that both companies share. The JohnDeere Garden Hose with CoreFUSION™ Technology, for instance, is a heavy-duty PVC garden hose that represents the innovation and quality at the heart of both brands. Designed in the iconic green and yellow colors of the John Deere brand, the garden hose is one of the first to feature Swan’s new CoreFUSION™ technology, a major advancement in garden hose functionality that makes a garden hose incredibly kink-resistant.
Swan's John Deere Garden Hose with CoreFUSION™ Technology features proprietary rods along its entire length that cause the hose to bend only so far in any direction, eliminating the kinks that cut off water flow.
CoreFUSION™ technology uses Swan’s patent-pending co-extrusion process to add strong rods of a unique compound throughout the entire length of a garden hose’s interior wall for reinforcement. These proprietary rods cause the garden hose to bend only so far in any direction, eliminating the kinks that cut off water flow. These rods also increase the garden hose’s strength up to 35 percent compared with other garden hoses. This significantly improves the ability of the John Deere Garden Hose to resist damage under tension and therefore makes it one of the longest-lasting garden hoses on the market.
Another great feature of the John Deere Garden Hose with CoreFUSION™ Technology is Swan’s new Ergonomic Female Grip at the female coupling. The grip—featuring John Deere’s well-known leaping-deer trademark—turns with the coupling to allow for an easy and tight attachment to the water source. The garden hose also has a powerful burst strength of 500 PSI.

A second hose in the PVC line is the heavy-duty John Deere Garden Hose with Lay-Flat Technology®. At the core of the garden hose is a proprietary compound along with Swan’s exclusive Lay-Flat Technology®. This technology allows the garden hose to uncoil and lay flat as soon as first use and to Snap Back Into Shape!® to fight kinks as you drag it across the lawn. Together these features provide not only additional durability, but also the highest achievement in garden hose flexibility and kink-resistance. The John Deere Garden Hose with Lay-Flat Technology® also has a powerful 500 PSI burst strength, oversized crush-proof couplings and an abrasion-resistant jacket in the iconic green and yellow colors of the John Deere brand.

The second garden hose line features a premium rubber hose based on Swan’s innovative MAXLite technology. The JohnDeere Rubber Hose has a powerful 500 PSI burst strength as well as an exclusive rubber formula that makes it twice as strong and 40 percent lighter than standard rubber hoses. It can also expertly handle a wide range of temperatures, remaining flexible down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit. The John Deere Rubber Hose also has a 30 percent longer lifespan from sun exposure due to better UV performance. Designed as a black hose with a yellow stripe in the iconic yellow of the John Deere brand, it also features Swan’s new Ergonomic Female Grip at the female coupling complete with John Deere trademark.

Both the PVC and rubber garden hose lines will be available in various diameters and lengths. Several sizes are already available in local and regional retailers in the Midwest, with this expected to expand to select nationwide retailers in the coming months. John Deere garden hoses will also be available to authorized John Deere dealers, as well as on Swan’s website.
Swan, in keeping with its mission of enriching lives by bringing Earth’s most essential resource—water—to where it’s needed most, hopes that its John Deere-branded garden hoses will expose the company to a larger global audience and resonate with consumers across the country and beyond. Swan is confident that in partnering with John Deere, its garden hoses will have high appeal in the marketplace.
