I wouldn't mention this to your insurance company at all. I would bet they would cancel your policy right after they paid your claim.
I would be nice to John Deer and maybe propose some loads in the future but if you go head to head with them, forget it. Small claims court may be the way to go but they will file extensions to the court date until your 70 years old. They have lawyers who work full time and you're like an ant to them and they'll squash you like a grape. They can outlast you waiting, you can't and that will be that. Sorry, this IS what will happen.
You don't have a case, you weren't there during loading and didn't make the claim on the spot. You can't prove those holes were there before.
Forget it and move on.

Yeah small claims is the way I'd go....were not talking major damage here, but enough to make me want to pursue it....probably in the range of 500-to a max of 2000, but I am really bad at trailer flooring estimates
It just needs a professionally done floor board replaced...dont really have much to go on how much.
Well as far as the hole being there before I dont see how they could claim that once they considered it....its obvious eough a hole they NEVER would have loaded a damaged trailer with their tractors. So damage in route....how???????with their tractors in the way?
