Deere debutants in Grassland & Muck 2017 working demos
John Deere’s new 6250R tractor with the award-winning CommandPRO joystick, and the company’s premium C441R wrapping baler, are among the public working demonstration debutants at Grassland & Muck 2017 at Stoneleigh, Warwickshire in May.
The 6250R tractor will be equipped with John Deere’s triple mower conditioner (TMC), consisting of one front-mounted and two rear-mounted units.
To achieve the maximum cutting width of 9.9m, an F350R 3.5m wide front mower-conditioner can be combined with the largest available R990R rear-mounted units.
The combination of the smaller F310R front-mounted mower with either the R950R or R870R rear mowers reduces the cutting width to 9.5 or 8.7m, respectively.
The light but powerful 6250R features an AutoPowr transmission and develops up to 300hp with Intelligent Power Management.
It is fitted as standard with JDLink telematics, including remote display access (RDA) and wireless data transfer (WDT) linked to the John Deere website portal.
Options include a new connectivity package featuring MyJobsConnect and MyJobsManager apps, which enable drivers to view and carry out tasks in real time via their mobile devices.
John Deere is the first full-line agricultural manufacturer to introduce a navigation and logistics optimisation system specially designed for farm use.
Developed to meet the high-capacity requirements of contractors and larger livestock farms, the new C441R premium wrapping baler incorporates a heavy-duty drive system rated at up to 210hp with 1000rpm PTO.
The new 18-roller bale chamber has increased in width, from 117 to 121cm.
The baler features a number of other enhancements designed to improve the machine’s overall durability and performance, whether in heavy, wet grass crops or dry straw.
The wrapping unit now features a 15% faster wrapping arm working at 40rpm, and the 18% faster table transfer system delivers a further big increase in productivity.
There is a choice of 2m or optional 2.2m pick-ups, feeding a high capacity MaxiCut HC rotor with 13 or 25 knives.
The baler also incorporates a full width parallel drop-floor system operated from the tractor cab, which enables blockages to be removed instantly.
The machine is available with a single axle as standard or with an optional tandem axle chassis for improved stability.
