Within a week of each other we saw the arrival of two self-propelled John Deere windrowers, an old one: John Deere 2280 and a much more recent one W200 Series. What these mowers have in common: they have rear-wheel steering and promise excellent maneuverability.

These dedicated equipment are more affordable than the original Krone BiG M 450 offered (admittedly with a cutting width of almost 10 meters) and allow you to consider them more easily at the start of the game instead of using a tractor and its mowing group. Beware, however, of the power of the 2280, which will be too tight on steep maps with steep slopes.
