Field Analyzer

Work Analyzer

NOTE: Mowing and Swathing used interchangeably.

Mowing Documentation in John Deere Operations Center™ allows the following information to be available anytime, anywhere.

• Utilize the cut date history to identify fields that need cut next by reviewing previous cut dates and scheduling the next required cuts and then quickly send the information to operator’s display via a Work Planner file.
• Assess dry down times using Mowing Documentation in conjunction with Bale Documentation through the John Deere Operations Center by reviewing the days between mowing and bailing.
• Look for efficiency opportunities by machine or operator, such as speed, productivity, fuel rate per area, and fuel rate per hour to understand field performance via coverage maps and seasonal performance in Work Analyzer.
• JDLink™ provides seamless transfer of machine and agronomic data between equipment and Operations Center, which improves monitoring, planning, logistics and ease of analysis.

In Cab Comfort

Operators spend hours inside the Self-Propelled Windrowers when mowing and forming windrows. It is important for operators to have cab comfort to decrease the effects of fatigue and to have the features necessary to be productive in the field.

In Cab Productivity

The Self-Propelled Windrower cab allows operator to be more productive with a quiet working environment with plenty of visibility, storage, and features.

Compatibility

John Deere Self-Propelled Windrowers comes in both an M-Spec and R-Spec cabs. The M-Spec and the R-Spec cabs both offer different in-cab features, seat suspensions, conveniences, and exterior cab designs.

CommandARM console in the W200M Windrowers

CommandARM console in the W200R Windrowers

The CommandARM console provides the operator with unmatched control of the windrower and platform. Controls are designed and positioned to enhance ergonomics and are easy to locate and use. Operators will appreciate the look and feel of the control console in the windrowers, which are similar to the design used in John Deere tractors and combines.

Adjustment of the CommandARM console meets the needs of every operator. It adjusts at an angle, fore/aft, and up and down for precise operator comfort.

The CommandARM console provides access to the most frequently used windrower controls:

• Field/road speed range
• Float adjust
• Platform speed adjustments
• Throttle – low idle, variable idle, and high idle
• Platform engage/disengage
• Windrower merger speed, raise, and lower (if equipped)
• Road hazard engage/disengage
• Gen 4 CommandCenter™ display navigation
• Display menu shortcut buttons
• Climate control switches
• Worklight switches
• Beacon light switches

Multi-function lever

The controls vital to the operation of the W200 Series Windrowers are conveniently located on the multi-function lever. The ergonomic multi-function lever gives the operator fingertip control of the following functions:

• Platform float suspension adjustment
• Windrower merger position (if equipped)
• Platform presets (to raise, lower, and engage AutoTrac™ system)
• Increase/decrease cutterbar or draper speed
• Platform raise/lower
• Platform tilt

The multi-function lever is also associated with the following functions:

• Forward/reverse ground speed
• Automatically disengages the park brake when moved from the park position with the engine running
  • The park brake is automatically engaged when placed in park.
• With platform enabled and on rotary traction units only, automatically raises the platform when moved from forward to reverse position
  • This function prevents wrapping cut crop into condition rolls.

Cornerpost display on the cab post

The cornerpost display features electronic instrumentation and blends well with the narrow, right-hand cab post, providing excellent visibility to the header. The cornerpost display is divided into an upper and lower region. The upper region provides traction unit information, and the lower region provides platform-specific information.

Radiator screen assembly

The W200 Series Self-Propelled Windrowers feature several improvements over previous designs to keep the engine operating at optimal levels and improve engine life. Design features include:

• Increased screen area of 19 percent provides more air flow through the cooling package than previous models.
• Smooth, rounded path inside the wand and ducts keeps debris from slowing and plugging.
• Air lab engineered and field-tested ducting is sized for air velocity and continual removal of debris.
• Wand backer plate helps stop debris from being sucked against the screen from the cooling fan for better cleaning performance.
• Cool air intake draws air from above the chassis, minimizing debris intake to cooling package.
• A stamped metal rear screen provides easier cleaning.
• The air conditioner condenser and oil cooler assembly swing out for easy serviceability and cleaning.

Oil cooler and air conditioner assembly

The W200 Series Windrowers are tested in tough conditions of over 37.8° C (100° F) to ensure that the drives stay properly cooled for maximum life and reliability. The 94.6-L (25-gal.) oil reservoir supplies oil to the pumps. Oil is cooled as it passes through the combination oil cooler and air conditioner condenser assembly at the rear of the machine.

Live monitoring of the hydraulic oil temperature at the left and right drive motors and reservoir limit switch protects against overheating during drive motor stall or high-grade terrain conditions

Variable-speed fan drive

The eight-blade cooling fan incorporates a viscous drive system that provides precise control over fan speed during operation. Optimization of the viscous fan speed leads to significant reductions in parasitic losses in certain operating conditions.

The fan speed is controlled by various factors such as engine coolant temperature, intake manifold air temperature, or hydraulic oil temperature. This level of control allows the fan to operate only at the required speed to keep the engine and cooling package at optimal operating temperature and reduces engine noise levels.

Heavy-duty drive motor

The heavy-duty drive motors provide an increased torque rating for dependable operation in borders, irrigation wheel tracks, and rough field conditions.

They come in two options for the M-spec machines: 29 or 38.6 km/h (18 or 24 mph). The R-spec machines are only available as 38.6 km/h (24 mph).

Fuel and diesel exhaust fluid tanks

The diesel fuel and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) fill locations on the W200 Series Self-Propelled Windrowers provide convenient filling from the ground level.

DEF sight gauge

The DEF sight gauge keeps operators from overfilling the tank, preventing spills and damage from freezing and expansion in cold weather.

Remote battery terminal

A remote batter terminal, conveniently located on the left-hand platform near the fluid fill, provides power for the 12-V fuel pumps on refueling tanks.

Constant header speed

Constant header speed is a feature unique to the W200 Series Self-Propelled Windrowers. It is made possible by a state-of-the-art platform hydraulic pump control system that monitors platform speed and controls the pump to maintain a required speed. Constant header speed translates to a consistent cut quality and uniform windrow formation throughout varying crop conditions and terrain changes.

As crop conditions change, causing the header to slow, or if the engine begins to load as terrain changes, the control system diverts more oil flow to the platform drive motor to maintain the header speed set point. This widens the peak power range of the header, delivering optimal power when it is needed most.

Other advantages of constant header speed include:

• Ability to run the header at slower speeds in lighter crops, translating to less overall fuel consumption
• Ability to run engine speed under rated rpm and maintain the set header speed
• Improved ramp up and down speeds upon starting and stopping the platform, increasing life of header and platform drivetrain components
