The W-Series delivers the same or more active separation area than competitive
multi-drum combines. That’s why there is no need in this power class to go for a
multi-drum combine concept and make any compromise on straw and grain
quality or fuel consumption. The W-Series can do it all!

WHEN GREAT
GETS BETTER
HARVEST PRODUCTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY
LIKE NEVER BEFORE
The proven crop flow system doesn’t bend or break your grain or straw
and offers improved performance for all crops and all harvest conditions.
The advanced threshing and cleaning systems now have one of the largest
surface areas on the market. With the Model Year 2016 we increased
performance up to 5% over the Model Year 2015 combine. But good was not
enough for us – we wanted to make the W-Series even better and we made
the next logical step. The new sectional concave increases the output by up
to 12% over the update from 2015. This is possible as you can now always
change to the optimum concave for your conditions – and the change
can be made very quickly.

We did not pursue any idea that did not fulfill our strict
requirements for user-friendly operation and maintenance.
We also deployed forward-thinking technologies from other
industries. For example, our cleaning shoe now features
lightweight aluminium components. Our tests have led to the
development of completely new connections with rivets that
are commonly used in aircraft construction. This cleaning
shoe has already proven itself by withstanding over
2,500 hours on the test bench. We’re well-known for our
reliability – and this continues to be the main goal of our
development.To accomodate the new cleaning shoe,
we had to design a completely new, reinforced frame.
To accommodate the increased emptying power, we deployed
the drives from the S-Series. And to further increase
reliability, we incorporated a host of other proven John Deere has been building

HIGH PERFORMANCE
HEADERS
WHERE PROFITABILITY BEGINS
6 0 0X
The ultimate header if you’re harvesting a variety of crops. The 600X has
an unbeatable conversion time of under 3 minutes without the need for any
tools thanks to the mechanical drive click-on side knives. It has one of the
longest tables on the market (1,200 mm) for a variable header, so grain losses
are minimal. You can also adjust it by up to 800 mm from the comfort of the
cab to respond to changing conditions on-the-go.
70 0 P F
The 700PF features an active transport, head-first crop flow process which
results in a very constant material flow so the combine can run at close to its
maximum capacity. This makes it ideal for short stalked grains or laid and
long-growing crops as the feed auger only captures cut material. Conversion
to rapeseed can also be done in less than 3 minutes. The new 700PF headers
with their huge 760 mm augers are the perfect match for any combine in
special conditions like down crop, tall rapeseed or short spring barley.
13
C O R N H EA D ER S
Our corn headers are made in Germany by Geringhoff. Available in a wide range
of widths and row spacings to match your combine’s capacity they can run at
high ground speeds even in down crop. Designed for minimal maintenance, the
secret to their legendary durability is the precision engineered aluminium main
drives, row unit gearboxes and the Centaflex couplings which eliminates stress
on the bearings and drive mechanism of each row unit.
More than 650,000 600R headers have been built, making it a proven
and field-tested combine header. It has many premium features including
stainless steel feed plates, a large diameter auger and a linear knife drive.
The 600F features a flexible cutterbar which lets you drive faster and cut
cleaner on uneven ground and helps reduce losses in down or tangled crops.
A 600R or 600F with rapeseed attachment has low losses due to the long
distance from the knives to the auger.
70 0 D & 70 0 F D
The 700D header promotes head first feeding for smooth crop flow. Its
lightweight design reduces ground pressure and the hydraulic tilt angle
adjustment adapts quickly to down crop. The 38 mm minimum cutting
height leaves fields clean and the knives and fingers are specially hardened
to working closely to the ground. Fully integrated into the combine display
it’s also rapeseed capable thanks to the 1,650 Nm slip clutch and 450 mm top
auger. Mechanical side knives and a sealing kit option are all it needs to be
rapeseed ready. The 700FD offers all the features of the 700D with the
added benefit of a flexible knife with up to 190 mm travel range. Instead of
using hinged wings, it flexes over the whole width of the cutterbar to
minimise crop losses in uneven ground.

XTRA CAPACITY
FEEDERHOUSE
PERFECT CROP FLOW AND THRESHING
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING
The wear plates are durable and do not need to be changed in your machine’s
lifetime and the slip clutch has been reinforced to 900 Nm. What’s more,
even the larger headers can be used with damp grains in high yield locations.
In the event that the feederhouse becomes blocked, the 80 hp mechanical
reverser will help get everything out easily and begin harvesting again as
quickly as possible.

1.80 m² according to ISO 6689-1:1997 (5 / 6-walker) to those areas

Furthermore, the crop mat inside the wide channel is very thin and
4 rasp bars always engage inside the concave which makes it much
easier for the grain to escape through the concave compared to
more narrow channels with less rasp bars engaged in competitive
multi-drum systems on the market. With this we are able to realise
excellent performance levels in the W-Series market segment with
very good grain and straw quality at low fuel consumption levels.

POWERFUL SEPARATION
Back in 2015 we spend a lot of time analysing the walker section on

POWER CLEANING
DESIGNED FOR HIGHEST CAPACITY
How can you considerably enlarge the sieve surface without
adding any weight and reducing the oscillating weight? The
developers at John Deere found the answer to that question
back in 2015.
The result: 41% more sieve surface and less weight at the same time. This was possible
through an innovative, lightweight design and an aluminium structure resulting in
reduced weight, which reduces peak engine loads and cuts down on vibration. This
means the harvested crop stays on the sieves longer, maximising cleaning time and
minimising losses. The W-Series is designed for the highest capacity. The 5-walker
combine has a total sieve area of 5.20 m² and the 6-walker, 6.30 m² according to
ISO Norm 6689: 1997.
