JOHN DEERE W200M Windrower Mowing Rye

[@404nitro]

Nice to see a mowing video again. I have always enjoyed watching triple mowers, windrowers etc at work.

[@bret_Lambky]

Thanks Jason, it’s been a while since I’ve watched some of your videos! It’s actually relaxing to watch!! I enjoy your narration and the information you provide! Have you ever done a video on the cost side and the anticipated payout of these machines? Example, this machine is $250,000, since it’s not the only machine in the barn. What has to happen in order for a farmer to afford this equipment! Guesstimate: $400,000 combine $250,000 for a tractor $150,000 grain truck $150,000 + disc, planter, You can have $1,000,000.00 Real fast in equipment! Not including maintenance costs and facilities to store the equipment! I know the payoff is long term! But this gets pricey! Thanks again for your videos.a” bringing attention to our farmers who deserve a big thank you for keeping us going! My respect to the farmers who work hard every day!!

[@ScottPykare]

I'd sure like to drive one of those. Very quiet and productive. Thanks Jason.

[@bigtractorpower]

They are cool machines to see in action.

[@SimonKL11]

They are moving along nicely😄👍 thanks for the video👍👍

[@markam306]

Jason: “I hope you enjoyed watching” Me: absolutely, my enjoyment meter pegged. Bigtractorpower was the first channel I ever subscribed to a little over 10 years ago. You still put a smile on my face.

[@buddymartin7923]

That's is some really good looking rye grass

[@JHruby]

It's not rye grass. It's cereal rye. Totally different.

[@bigtractorpower]

It was a healthy crop this year.

[@josippenezic7106]

Great video. I use tractor IMT 577 and mounted mower conditioner Taarup 3124 8 feat I think its Kubota brand in US. We have much smaller fields in Croatia .To use W200M would be waist of money so this is a only way to see them in work so thanks for that.

[@houndsong]

Is this rye solely for weaving into matt material, or will the seed also be utilized?

[@mtpocketswoodenickle2637]

There's no visible seed at that stage of growth. Rye straw isn't much different from wheat straw when mature. Except... One's sheath produces a natural antibiotic, the other has an allelopathy effect. Heck, just made me hungry for a Reuben sandwich.

[@johnclarkkitner9556]

Nice mowers. My brother and me still use 477 new Holland.

[@piperdoug428]

I run a NewHolland HW340 with a 16ft discbine header, thats my happy place cutting. looks like those JD were having a hard time with bunching

[@Railfan6675]

Awesome video. Awesome machine!! Well done as usual.

[@SebastianWarth]

Awesome Video!

[@AkbarMoncongloe]

Good video brother

[@Skyhawks1979]

Used to do the same thing with a 780 Deere swather with a 40 horse air cooled Wisconsin.

[@JHruby]

The same thing at about 1/3 of the speed.

[@rayrussell6258]

@@JHruby lol, and at far less cost than the new Deere. So what, it's not a race. The turtle gets the job done.

[@Blackwellll3066]

Out in my area southeastern Wisconsin alot of farmers have triple mowers or pull type seen some windrowers but not alot

[@bigtractorpower]

Triple mowers are great. They would not work for this application. The farm puts 36ft drapers on these W200Ms to swath wheat straw for the same straw mat product. You can see the straw swathing at kzbin.info/www/bejne/qamVhIKAnp1lgNksi=_Fy3CY18IjQQ0Ub3

[@Blackwellll3066]

@bigtractorpower yea knowing the product being used for mat products makes the difference, if it was for the farm or being sold to dairy as feed I would assume the farm wouldn't care as much when cutting

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

Cool video Jason. We got some rye that we’ll be harvesting this summer.

[@bigtractorpower]

What will you harvest it with?

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

@@bigtractorpower we’ll be using our Gleaner R72 and the 35 foot bean head.

[@coreycarver701]

Great video! I hope you recorded the other stages of processing for this!

[@bigtractorpower]

The plan is too. Still waiting for the rye to dry to bale. Stay tuned.

[@coreycarver701]

@@bigtractorpower Sounds great! I didn’t realize it was so current. I appreciate all of your efforts to provide us with this content.

[@danpanderson]

What do they use to pickup the cut rye? Balers?

[@mtpocketswoodenickle2637]

Mowed down cereal rye calculated at 125 lbs. per acre when broadcasted. It took 4 hrs. to mulch my 50' x 75' patch, with a 15 hp. Simplicity Regent lawnmower.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

What's the break even point on SP vs Center Pivot cutters? My job runs a C450, and I can put 100 acres down in a good day. At what point of acres does a SP with same head pay back? Over 1000 acres, or more? JW, it's a cool machine!

[@bigtractorpower]

That is a good question. This farm uses self propelleds because they mow the cereal, rye and swath straw after the wheat is combined. Each of these three windrowers will see several acres of use in May and June. You can see them swathing wheat straw in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qamVhIKAnp1lgNksi=74VaYDNd7yTc6G9x

[@bradleytrimble5867]

I just drove by those swathing wheat for seven springs in Cadiz Ky earlier

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. They have developed a great market for the erosion mats.

[@frankscruggs4749]

Good video.

[@stevenblue3126]

What's causing it to bunch up the material? Goes pretty smooth for a ways and then you see a pile that it left. Why?

[@bigtractorpower]

The terrain of the field it’s really rolling and rough. The crop is over 5.5 ft tall. It was putting all 200 hp to work.

[@duggydo]

Looks like everything on the machine runs from hydraulic motors. Does each drive wheel have it's own motor? The specs on the JD brochure don't say much of anything about it.

[@jjkrums9612]

Why is it always in Kentucky?

[@bigtractorpower]

Good question. Kentucky is where I live. Of my last 10 videos 3 were in Kentucky the other 7 were filmed in Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and Wisconsin.

[@sew1194]

The new red mower that you had a video of recently appears to do a better job.

[@bigtractorpower]

It was in the same field. You can see it in this video toward to end as the two W200Ms are running side by side at night. The Case IH did an extra nice job. I only got a few passes of it. I am hoping to get some cab time with it soon.

[@sew1194]

@@bigtractorpower nice work, I appreciate all you do

[@brettbickham9579]

Is it $230,000 or $270,000? With the daily fuel and operator costs alone with annual depreciation expense and repair and maintenance costs it is difficult to justify the total annual dollars.

[@Ryanthetractornerd]

My local dealer has a new w235m

[@chrishughes4652]

Will they bale that?

[@ArmpitStudios]

He mentioned balers, so yeah.

I messed up. We were under high winds and a tornado watch when I finished this. I did not catch it.

[@paulofrancisco565]

[@christianhollauer881]

13 feet is quite small

[@noahater5785]

Definitely a lot more affordable than having a tractor and triple mowers even if the area covered is a lot smaller

[@scottkaercher1733]

I love rye bread. Ppl can buy a cheap swather but i guarantee ya its not gonna cut that rye down.

[@gtlv79]

It seems to me to be aTriticale not a rye

[@bigtractorpower]

It was rye. They bale it to make erosion control mats.

[@aloisankli]

Great video. Just a little bit greeen.... lol

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@BRPFan]

WHY such a small header?? Never seen that before! The farmer would be way better off with a triple mower decks mounted on a tractor! Must fell like it takes for ever to mow one field! Kind of like mowing 20 acres with a little push mower! 😃

[@rickmatz4456]

That stuff is ripe enough to swath and combine. Instead of making poor quality feed.

[@rickmatz4456]

I watched the rest of the video. Not feed. Matting. Who knew

[@shaunault7538]

Still nice though

[@bigtractorpower]

They are good mowers.

[@rayrussell6258]

I wouldn't say it's junk, but definitely farmers are paying too much for this kind of equipment. They still need a tractor, even if they buy specialized equipment like this, so there is no savings. If I couldn't hold a steering wheel straight from one end of a field to the other, I'd retire ..... rather than pay for "technology" to do it for me.
