R1 Merger Attachment

The R1 Merger Attachment is available for the John Deere W200-Series (W235/W260/W200M/W235M/W260M/W235R/W260R) Self Propelled Windrowers (SPW) with 500R/R500 Rotary Platforms.

The R1 allows merging of windrows with a John Deere self-propelled windrower in front of a self-propelled forage harvester, or in conditions that do not require wide swaths for dry-down. The R1 can eliminate the need for raking or merging passes through the field.

Product Highlights

  • Merge two or three windrows into one.
    • Two windrows to be picked up by a 3.0m pickup or larger
    • Three windrows to be picked up by a 4.0m pickup or larger
  • Single windrows can be created as selected by the operator.
  • Control all merger functions using the keypads on the multi-function lever.
  • Attachment can be disabled on-the-go for normal center-dumping of the windrow.
  • Attachment raises to transport position with leading edge of the belt frame angled upward to clear incoming crop flow for center-dumping.
  • Belt speed is controlled from the multi-function lever and is adjustable to vary windrow placement and formation.
  • Attachment features a front conveyor behind the conditioner. This device gathers material dropping out of the crop stream and delivers it to the cross belt for reliable function in varying crop conditions.
  • The hydraulic drive system enables the belt to maintain speed as the engine load is increased and engine speed decreases.
  • Each belt features a v-groove for ease of belt tracking.
  • Windrowers arrive from the factory Merger-Ready. No welding is required.
