John Deere W200 Series and John Deere 2280 mowers

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.

Footnotes

You will not be disappointed with these two pieces of equipment depending on your preference (old or new) and your budget for mowing and swathing at the same time over a width of 5 meters. Their maneuverability is their advantage over a mowing unit mounted on the 3-point tractor.
