Farmers and growers looking for efficiency when tackling dense crops have a dependable new option for cutting and threshing in John Deere’s new W260 windrower, set to debut this fall.
The introduction of the new W260M model to the windrower series marks a major leap forward in horsepower, allowing growers to handle denser crops more effectively. This latest addition to the W200 Series of windrowers boosts efficiency and perfectly harmonizes with a new mounted-merger option.
This innovative combination of agricultural equipment enables the consolidation of up to 48 feet (14.6 meters) of crop into a single windrow, significantly reducing the need for additional passes on the field. The result is reduced fuel consumption and crop damage, ultimately leading to a more sustainable farming operation.
The mounted-merger feature isn't limited to the new model alone; it's also compatible with existing models in the series, such as the W235M, W235R, and W260R. This comprehensive solution set is a game-changer for growers that saves time and resources with more efficient field operations and fewer field passes required to complete the job. The new windrower is also revolutionary for dairy feed producers looking to enhance profitability without adding labor costs.
Beyond these immediate benefits, the John Deere windrower lineup is distinguished by the leading-edge technology that supports innovative hardware. Features like AutoTrac™ guidance and TouchSet™ empower operators to adjust windrow shape and conditioning effortlessly. Additionally, mowing documentation in the John Deere Operations Center™ makes it easier to track jobs and make critical decisions.
Scheduled for availability at John Deere dealerships this fall, the W260M and its merger option represent a forward-thinking solution for modern farming needs, promising a blend of efficiency, technological advancement, and sustainability.
