Maximise harvest potential with the 600R Series platformPut one of the John Deere 600R
Series Platforms on your combine
and you’ll get lower, faster cutting
that you can easily adjust to suit your
conditions. Available in widths from
4.30 to 9.15 metres, the 600R plat-
forms feature heavy duty components
like an 80 hp reverser that takes
power directly from the engine, along
with an automatic reel reverse so you
don’t have to raise the reel. Stainless
steel feed plates help keep crop
sliding smoothly into the four-way
adjustable auger, while the epicyclical
counterbalanced knife drive provides
vibration free cutting with less shatter
loss.
And to help you start quickly every
day, all 600R platforms feature
single-point attachment of electrical
and hydraulic lines, as well as locking
the platform in place.
The John Deere Advantage • Automatic cutting height and ground
pressure give you the versatility to harvest in a wide range of conditions
• HeaderTrak system automatically maintains cutting height, even over uneven ground
• A variety of header widths lets you choose the platform that matches your farm
600R Series Platform
A positive, epicyclical gearcase knife drive provides in-line knife motion for vibration-free operation. The counterbalanced drive provides smoother cutting, less shatterloss. Non-clog knife guards fully enclose the knives for cleaner cutting. Higher knife speed and longer knife stroke enhance cutting capacity. Knife sections are self-cleaning and bolted for easy replacement in the field.
Stainless steel feed plates in front of the auger will never rust. Crop is fed smoothly to the intake auger, year after year, season after season.
An 80 hp electro-hydraulically controlled mechanical reverser uses direct engine power to put more torque into the job so you can maintain a brisk harvest pace – even in difficult cutting conditions. With the automatic reel reverser, you won’t even need to raise the reel to reverse the cutting platform.
The unique John Deere CornStar Rotary Corn Head allows true multi-direction maize harvesting, while the innovative intake system reduces vibration and promotes faster, smoother feeding with less grain loss. CornStar corn heads fold to 3.2 m for transport and are available in 6 and 8 row models.
Short and long folding crop dividers. Simply fold the dividers into the platform for transport – no need to remove them before you drive on the road. No need to carry heavy attachments or to look for a storage place.
Retractable fingers are positioned the full length of the auger to smooth out feeding and boost capacity. Breakaway grooves and retainers are standard; no chance of a broken finger entering the combine.
A 660 mm intake auger provides plenty of feeding capacity. Plus, you can adjust the auger four ways (up/down and fore/aft) to
ensure smooth, high capacity material flow.
Single-lever latching gives you the ultimate in header hook-up convenience. One lever connects the electro-hydraulic multi-coupler and engages the platform attachment pins. Fast, easy and clean.
Adjustable table length. Set the three position cutting table from 545 to 715 mm to maximise performance in all conditions… from short, dry straw to long, wet crop.

High capacity feeding for high yielding fieldsThe feederhouse has one of the most
difficult jobs of any system on your
combine: feeding a crop which can
vary in yield from one metre to the
next in a consistent layer to the sepa-
rating system. So how does the
John Deere W-Series feederhouse do
this?
With components like the high
torque, high strength slip clutch,
which give you the capacity to handle
the toughest, greenest crops. With
features such as the 80 hp reverser,
which transmits power from the
engine for consistent, dependable
performance. And with designs like
the ‘straight-through’ feeding, which
means that the primary components –
feeding, threshing and separating –
are the same width, ensuring that
every centimetre of the combine is
utilised.
The John Deere Advantage• High strength components stand up to
the greenest, highest yielding crops
• Feederhouse reverser gearbox gets 80 hp straight from the engine for consistent, dependable performance
• The long feederhouse gives you a shallow angle of cut, with excellent visibility over the platform and a thin, uniform crop mat
W-Series: Feederhouse
Straight through feeding –
The primary components (feeder-
house, threshing area, cleaning
system and straw walkers) are the
same full width as the threshing
cylinder.
Plus, the feederhouse is set at
a flat angle to the threshing cylin-
der; there are no abrupt transition
areas, so crop flows smoothly.
The front plate features 9° of tilt and 4° of side-to-side pitch to match ground conditions. The result? An even stubble height with less bulldozing, even in uneven fields.
Excellent visibility. The extra long feederhouse positions the header far out in front, so you can see the platform and stubble height without leaning forward or balancing on the edge of your seat.
With 80 hp of mechanical power supplied from the engine. Directly from the cab you can remove the worst plugs with push-button ease! Less down-time, more productive harvesting. The reversing reel further enhances platform discharge for an improved material flow.
The shallow angle created at the top and bottom of the feederhouse delivers a thin, uniform crop mat to the threshing area. There are no sharp angles to slow the crop flow.

Lower power requirements. The advanced threshing design features an extra large cylinder that gets threshing off to a strong start.
Cleaner grain. A dedicated precleaner, combined with the advanced 11-step walker design and innovative Power Separator, results in vigorous separation and cleaner grain.
More grain in the tank. The Power Separator combs the crop mat to release trapped grain other machines might miss.
Unbelievable comfort. The cab helps ease the load of long days in the field. See pages 18−19 for more details.
A single lever latching mechanism ensures effective connection of both electrics and hydraulics to the feederhouse and locks the platform to the feederhouse.
ACA – Automatic Combine Adjustment makes it easy to match combine performance to crop conditions. ACA includes an outstanding remote shoe adjustment where all 6 elements (precleaner and sieves) are connected directly to a dedicated actuator, ensuring higher levels of accuracy.
Outstanding resale value. John Deere combines are well known for their high resale value… something you’ll appreciate at trade-in time.
Excellent control. An array of simple in-cab monitors and user friendly controls will have you harvesting like a pro in no time… in any crop or condition.
W-Series Separation: Performance without compromiseNo matter what you grow, the
W-Series combines from John Deere
give you the ability to harvest your
crop’s full potential with the efficiency
you need and the high quality of grain
and straw you demand.
Threshing begins as the crop mat
passes through a primary and sec-
ondary cylinder and concave on its
way to the steep, 11-step walkers.
Once on the walkers, the John Deere
power separator drum combs the
straw mat, releasing trapped grain,
much like the tines on the John Deere
tine separation machines. Once the
powerful cleaning system blows away
straw and chaff, you have more clean
grain in the tank and a higher return
in your pocket.
Performance without compromise.
That’s the power of the new
John Deere W-Series combines.
Automatic Combine Adjustment. The Automatic Combine Adjustment feature allows operators to choose one of 16 factory crop settings; the system then adjusts rotor speed, cleaning fan speed, concave clearance, main chaffer opening and sieve opening. Operators can fine-tune the existing settings or programme up to 5 custom settings.
Increased horsepower. Climb steep hills, even with a full grain tank, thanks to higher engine horsepower.
High precision moisture sensor. You’ll get faster, more accurate readings with our moisture sensor, located in the grain tank. So accurate,t hat within seconds of starting a new field, you can confirm crop moisture levels and decide whether to continue harvesting or not.
John Deere AutoTrac Assisted Steering. Hands-free, satellite based guidance system means you only steer at the headland or to avoid obstacles. AutoTrac eliminates time wasting passes with a partially full platform.
John Deere HarvestSmart Auto Feedrate Control. HarvestSmart automatically controls feedrate for either maximum throughput capacity or grain loss parameters – you choose.Put HarvestSmart together with AutoTrac and the combine operates almost by itself at peak harvesting capacity hour by hour, day by day.
John Deere HeaderTrak system continuously measures and adjusts the header’s ground clearance, giving you an even stubble height, even over rolling or rough ground.
Optional, exterior cameras and in-cab colour monitor. Rear and auger mounted cameras, along with a full-colour, in-cab monitor, give you a view of residue spread width and unloading operations.

W-Series Features
Benefits of W-Series Technology
10 11
The advantages of W-Series Separation technology:
STAGE 4The John Deere Power Separator employs the same “pull and release” technique found on C-Series combines. As straw is pulled over the walker grids, the tines comb the crop mat, opening channels for trapped grain to fall to the cleaning shoe. The Power Separator tines comb through the straw mat, accelerating the crop and thinning out the straw layer. Ideal for heavy and dense crops.
STAGE 3 Long walkers provide excellent separation in difficult crops, gentle handling for higher straw quality and lower power consumption. It’s the best solution for growers with varying crops and conditions. A grid design allows active grain capturing.
STAGE 2 A large diameter beater provides excellent material handling and additional separation, as the second concave extends the separation area. The concave can also be adjusted to handle a wide variety of crops and conditions.
STAGE 1The large inertia drum and long concave separation area can easily be set to perform in a wide range of crops and conditions. A speed differential between the crop and drum speed results in thorough initial separation.
The whole separation length is used
to remove grain from the crop
Full crop flow area is used
for threshing and separation
(maximising performance)

Four-stage W-Series separation: Performance with qualityHow do the W-Series combines
achieve their all-crop, all-condition
performance and outstanding grain
and straw quality? By using proven
separation technology, combined with
effective innovation.
Start with walker separation.
Proven in years of use and in a wide
variety of crops, walker separation
gives you the best balance of
performance and grain and straw
quality. But John Deere W-Series
separation adds a unique Power
Separator drum at the rear of the
11-step walkers; this drum combs,
thins and accelerates the crop mat,
allowing trapped grain to fall through.
It is this combination of separating
actions that gives you unbeatable per-
formance in the widest possible range
of crops and conditions.
The John Deere Advantage • Excellent all-purpose separation for a
broad range of crops and conditions.
• Tackle heavy yielding and high moisture crops with confidence
• High-flow walker design and unique tine separation delivers maximum grain savings with excellent straw quality
W-Series Separation
A single lever lets you raise the secondary concave to aggressively thresh difficult crops or lower the unit to reduce straw break-up in dry or brittle conditions or for long straw crops.
*Not for UK
A positive dampening stone trap protects the cylinder and concave. Open it easily and empty it completely with a single lever.
Standard cylinder drive ranges from 475 to 1030 rpm – ideal for small grain crops and high moisture maize.
*Not for UK
Lever operated de-awning plates are standard with all four concave options.
Posi-Torq drive senses torque needs, then transmits power without belt slippage. Cylinder speed stays constant. Belt life is significantly extended.
Automatic Combine Adjustment (ACA) monitors let you change from one crop to another or fine-tune performance from the comfort of the cab. ACA is standard on all models.

Heavy duty axles provide the load carrying
capacity of level land models, letting you use the
full capacity of the grain tank
Because the cab remains level, you won’t have
to fight gravity all day. You can concentrate on
harvesting with less stress and fatigue
Equal weight distribution on both front wheels
enhances traction and safety

There are two things your combine’s
cleaning system needs to do: clean
the grain and operate with a minimum
of adjustment and attention from the
operator.
The Quadro-Flo Cleaning System
accomplishes both of these tasks,
thanks to a combination of proven
technology and innovative features.
First, the dedicated pre-cleaner
removes up to 25% of the chaff
before the grain ever reaches the
cleaning shoe. Once on the shoe, four
cleaning fans take care of removing
the rest of the debris.
And when it’s time to change the
settings, adjustments are quick and
easy.
The John Deere Advantage • Proven John Deere Quadro-Flo cleaning
system delivers high volume cleaning action for extra clean, high quality samples
• Easy, fast adjustments let you quickly match cleaning performance in all crops and conditions
Hillmaster Levelling
Dedicated pre-cleaner. Cleaning gets a head start as high velocity air moves through the precleaner to lift chaff and debris aloft, away from the lower part of the grain layer. In fact, 25% of the chaff is blown out by the precleaner.Around 1/3 of the grain is pre-separated, falling directly onto the clean grain auger, reducing the volume of grain and chaff that passes to the chaffer and sieve.
Heavy duty conveyor augers handle large volumes of grain with ease, ensuring an even sieve load for efficient cleaning. These augers are especially good when you’re working on slopes or in damp conditions and in a wide range of crops.
Four Dual-Flo cleaning fans blast a strong, constant stream of chaff eliminating air in two directions. Using four separate fans helps create a high pressure differential that blasts debris away while allowing grain to fall to the shoe.
Chaffer/sieve. By the time grain and residue reach the chaffer and sieve, a large part of the straw and debris has already been removed. The separated grain is easily sorted through the chaffer and sieve.
Obtain level land performance on
slopes. Hillmaster slope levelling rec-
ognises changes in slope and auto-
matically oscillates the entire combine
body up to 15% to compensate. In
combination with the SlopeMaster
system, which maintains level land
capacity on slopes up to 7%,
Hillmaster is able to harvest on slopes
up to 22% with no loss in perform-
ance.
You’ll fill the grain tank completely,
so you have fewer unloading stops.
Plus, since the cab remains level, you
won’t have to fight gravity all day. You
can concentrate on harvesting, with
less stress and fatigue.
The John Deere Advantage
• Hillmaster automatic levelling oscillates
the entire combine body up to 15% for
level-land performance on slopes
• In combination with SlopeMaster
harvest on slopes up to 22% with no
loss in performance, reduced unloading
time and reduce grain loss
Advanced cleaning with easy adjustment Hillmaster: Level land performance on 22% slopes
Two pairs of mechanical height sensors, (one under each side of the platform) continuously measure the header ground clearance. Their forward location ensures a quick response.
The HeaderTrak monitor displays information on the header functions at a glance: active resume button, HeaderTrak operating mode, stubble height or ground pressure, reel resume and the lateral tilt angle of the header.
Resume button 1 can be programmed to return to preselected header height for long stubble crops. Ideal for harvesting crops like rape or sunflowers or to raise the platform at the end of the field.
Resume button 2 can be used to maintain a preset stubble height, for example, in standing cereals, using the mechanical height sensors.
Resume button 3 may be programmed to maintain a preset header ground pressure for perfect contour following in laid crops
The HeaderTrak system lets you maintain an even stubble height over every centimetre of your platform, even in rolling fields or on contours. No bulldozing or gouging, even when you’re cutting low to the ground in laid crop. Plus, you can work at faster field speeds and put more grain in the combine.Also, operate with confidence at night or in dusty conditions.

The Premium Chopper offers two windrowing possibilities. One lever lets you switch from blowing chaff to the sides or into the windrow.
Windrow the chaff together with the straw. This will ensue that all of the residue is removed from the field – perfect for making bales for power stations.
Spread the chaff to the sides while simultaneously windrowing the straw. Perfect for growers who bale straw.
The Premium chopper offers two windrowing possibilities
To counter the effect side winds or slopes have on the spread pattern, special deflectors can be adjusted (electrically from the cab) to concentrate the residue to either the right or the left of the machine.
Now you can spread chaff as well as straw with the same chopper. Chaff is blown into the straw chopper with the straw and evenly distributed. No more clumps in the field … just a smooth, even layer of residue.
Choose the twin disc chaff spreader to spread chaff evenly over the full header width. If wind or slope is affecting the spreader, it is also possible to distribute the chaff to one side or the other via the straw chopper.
One lever lets you adjust the chopper tailboard.It doesn’t get any easier than this.
Wind compensation: > 50% of straw is directed to one side
Chop, drop or spread with John Deere residue systemsNo matter what your goal – from fine-
ly chopped, evenly spread straw and
chaff to perfectly formed windrows –
the new John Deere W-Series
combines offer a residue manage-
ment system that can meet your
needs.
To start, our standard chopper
spreads a uniform layer of straw and
chaff together, even with wider
headers. The twin-disc chaff spreader
allows you to adjust the deflectors –
from the cab – for heavy winds and
slopes. And if you need more options,
choose the Premium Chopper, which
allows you to windrow chaff and
straw together or spread chaff while
windrowing straw.
Whichever system you choose,
you’ll find easy adjustment and
dependable, effective performance.
The John Deere Advantage • A variety of residue system options allow
you to choose your residue management: chopping, spreading or windrowing
• With our Premium Chopper system, you can windrow chaff and straw together, drop straw while spreading chaff
Position the straw residue deflector manually with a single lever. Or, choose the optional, electrically controlled system (as on the Premium Chopper).
A twin-rotor chaff spreader features a separate hydraulic drive for wider, more consistent spread widths. There are no belts to adjust, no maintenance is required.

ments you need to make operating
your combine as comfortable and
convenient as possible.
To start, the massive expanse of
glass gives you nearly unlimited
visibility to the front and sides of the
machine, while the optional in-cab
monitor gives you a view to the rear
and of the unloading process. The
cornerpost display gives you all the
information you need to ensure the
combine’s systems are running
properly. And a variety of adjustments
make it easy to fit the cab to your
comfort.
W-Series: Cab and Controls
The John Deere Advantages• Spacious, well designed cab provides
excellent visibility, ease of control and all-day comfort
• Simple, logical controls make it easier to train new operators and obtain better results
• Multi-function master control puts most frequently used functions close at hand, eases stress and fatigue
Controls are logically arranged, easy to comprehend and close at hand. New “soft-touch” switches make it easier to fine tune combine performance. Fingertip switches enable precise adjustment of cylinder, fan speed and concave opening. You can adjust the armrest console up, down, fore and aft.
Header resume switches let you quickly change between one of three preset cutting modes on-the-go.
Two large, 4 position switches give you instant and easy control of header and reel functions. The right pad controls header raise, lower and lateral tilt. The left pad controls reel lower and fore/aft movement.
This 5 position switch controls unloading auger swing. Detents let you manually position the auger or fully extend or retract the auger automatically.
Quick stop disengages the header and unloading auger and stops the auger swing.
Automatic Combine Adjustment (ACA) gives you full, automatic adjustment of the concave opening, cleaning fan speed, cylinder speed and sieves.Recommended chaffer and sieve adjustments are indicated. You can use the push buttons on the display (shown) or push corresponding buttons on the CommandArm Console. ACA provides optimum combine capacity from the start, even with inexperienced operators.
HeaderTrak display features a vertical bar readout that provides a visual representation of relative header height. The header height resume setting is shown in the lower left corner. The button right of the display shows the header position when the combine is equipped with the HeaderTrak system.
VisionTrak display lets you monitor and control the performance of the cleaning shoe (left vertical bars) and separator (right vertical bars) independently or together. The horizontal bar shows tailings volume. You get a much clearer idea of shoe and separator performance to help maximise grain savings.
The triple display tachometer lets you monitor three functions simultaneously.In addition to ground speed (which is always shown on the top line), you can select engine rpm, cylinder rpm, concave clearance or cleaning fan speed. Anytime you touch or adjust any monitored combine function, it’s automatically displayed on the bottom line.
