New JOHN DEERE W200M Windrower

[@TheMCD1989]

Pretty interesting. Looks like the guy running the square baler could slow down a couple MPH though, that 348 didn't look like it was feeding that long stem stuff too well. Really cool to see that style of combine header, I'll admit I had never seen one of those before.

[@brianrutherford3681]

I was surprised to see a swather in this day and age.it brings back memories of swathing wheat in front of an old 6601 John Deere pull type combine on my cousin's farm.this was ack when I was just starting to work on the farm and he was my first boss.

[@danielmcmunn4784]

I didn't know Deere ever went back to making their own swathers again, in this part of the world you only see the MacDons painted green. The triple delivery header was a MacDon concept I believe, lots of the swathers from the 90's were set up for triple delivery

[@farmingnodak]

I think versatile and honeybee had a lot of those... several ways to have it discharge.

[@Rhamirezz85]

Hey, I always wonder what are swathers used for? Is it something instead of combine harvesters?

[@ManofCulture]

@@Rhamirezz85 They aid harvesting by speeding up the process of drying the crop down to a moisture content suitable for harvesting and storage

That header for the combine is an interesting concept. I’m sure it saves on wear of the combine.

[@brettengland192]

We achieved the same thing by running the combine header right on the ground and disabling the straw chopper at the back. Then we raked the straw into a windrow and bailed the straw.

[@bigtractorpower]

The difference in this method is long straw. The combine chops the straw up. Even a walker machine breaks the straw up. This merging with the stripper head on the combine and the Swather produces the longest straw possible to weave the erosion mat.

[@carynix8043]

Nice I’ve never seen a combine that just strips the heads off

[@charleshagenbuch6078]

I'm curious as to why they dont run against the wheel tracks the first go around?

[@bigtractorpower]

The combine makes a 32ft pass and the Swather makes a 36ft pass. The balers tines also help sweep up the compressed stems for easier cutting.

[@Drew6709]

Noticed the auger isn't being used. I thought the auger was on when the belts, reel & sickels are in operation.

[@billsmith8739]

So I guess I missed something..what do they use the straw for again? Erosion Mats?

[@aidanbrennan7389]

Question from a non farmer! The combine cuts the heads. Then the other machine cuts the straw and lays it into two rows. Why not just use a combine harvester. I never seen this process before. Greetings from Ireland.

[@bigtractorpower]

Typically a farm would bale right behind the combine. In this case to make the straw mats to control soil erosion long straw is needed. A combine chews the straw up too much and leaves the straw too short to weave into a mat.

[@oliverburgess1036]

We don’t have these over in Europe, can someone explain the idea of it? Is it just the same as having a tractor with a mower and then going back over the crop with a tedder to put the crop into a line ready for the baler?

[@Ronald.Golleher]

Yep basically that. More common probably for grass cutting for hay. Cuts and rows at the same time, easy for baling or chopping

[@oliverburgess1036]

@@Ronald.Golleher nice! Thanks for the explanation 🚜🌾 I guess with the size of the fields it’s much quicker and cost efficient to do one pass in this rather than two machines and two passes

[@matthewknudslien1330]

Yes you can use a swather for cutting hay like you mentioned, in western Canada we use them to cut down crops to speed up the drying and curing process due to our short harvest season. Once the grain is dried we would combine(thresh) the swaths.

[@TomJD]

That is sure the hard way to pick up the bales off the field

[@bigtractorpower]

Hard work. The bigger bales they use a bale wagon to grab them.

[@outbackladas]

Good video, I’d like to see the erosion mats that are made from these bales. Regards from Down Under.

In italy we cut the entire crop with the combine harvester. We don't have dreaper head. It's faster but you have to pass 2 times in to the field. Hi jason great video as usual👌

[@Ronald.Golleher]

Sounds like this is more for the use of the straw needing the longer less damaged straw from this process rather than having it go through the combine and be threshed and torn up. Along with the use of a draper head, less damage to the straw.

[@matthewknudslien1330]

Yes it would be more efficient to cover it in one pass. We use these in western Canada to speed up the drying process of the grain due to our short growing season

@@PapaGoodTymes All is spinning at an alarming rate inside the combine, as for wear n tare, the straw will not be broken up.
