John Deere 415D

1400D integrated slow-speed transport system behind W170 Windrower

Slow-speed transport system:

• 1400D Drapers are towable only with the W170 Self-Propelled Windrower
• Transport is recommended behind a tractor with seven-pin electrical lighting outlet
• 1430D, 1435D, 1440D, and 1445D Drapers only
• Convert draper from field to transport in minutes with one person and without tools
• Dual front dolly wheel tires and two gauge wheel tires carry the weight of transport

It is a simple four-step process to switch from field to transport:

1. Move right gauge wheels from field to transport
2. Move left gauge wheels from field to transport
3. Attach the tongue.
4. Detach from the windrower.

C-shaped cutterbar profile

The C-shaped cutterbar profile provides:

• Smooth crop flow
• Superior draper-to-cutterbar seal
• Reduced amount of material under belts
• Minimized crop loss in shatter-prone crops

Platform reverser controls on W155

An optional reverser is available for the W155 Self-Propelled Windrower only. It is easily activated from the operator's station to clear the platform of plugs that may occur.

On the 400D Draper Platforms, the reverser slowly reverses the knife drive and optional hay conditioner if equipped to clear plugs. The reverser is highly recommended when using the optional hay conditioner with the 400D Platform.

On the 100A Auger Platform, the reverser slowly reverses the conditioning rolls, auger, and reel. This makes a difficult job easier, so the operator can be more productive.

Operators can run the machines nearer to their maximum capacity and it will take less time to unplug, adding to the machine's productivity.

Reverser valve block

The reverser consists of a valve block and valves, shown in image above. It is the gold-colored valve block on the right side. It is shown plumbed for a 100A Auger Platform.

Cutterbar visibility

Right-side visibility

Left-side visibility

The cutterbar design provides excellent visibility across the full range of tilt:

• Cutterbar and belt can be easily seen from the cab even with the optional top-crop conveying auger installed
• Cutterbar can be tilted from the cab mechanically or hydraulically depending on the windrower option chosen
• Change cutterbar angle with varying crop and field conditions for best cut height and crop flow

Dual gauge wheel option

1400D Series Draper Platforms offer optional dual gauge wheels with spring suspension:

• 1-cm (15-in.)
• Excellent ground following and flotation in all conditions
• Fine adjust the float on the go from the cab for high-speed harvesting and stable flotation
• Available as part of the integrated slow-speed transport system option

John Deere 1425D, 1430D, and 1435D Drapers can windrow out of the center, right, or left ends of the draper with the press of a button using the hydraulic shift option.

Double windrow using deck shift

Double windrow being combined

Hydraulic deck shift option:

• Larger windrows to match combine or self-propelled forage harvester
• Match narrower-width drapers with higher-capacity harvesting
• Place higher-density windrows in front of harvesters when yields are low
• Discharge two windrows side by side for uniform combine or forage harvester feeding
• Move chain stop to change center belt opening quickly and easily for different crop types and density (see operator’s manual for more information)
• Discharge crop to the outside of the headland to prevent running over the windrow while cutting the rest of the field
• Platform stays balanced with automatic fine-float adjustment when using deck shift
• Optional double draper drive bundle is recommended when using deck shift and harvesting silage or wet, heavy crops
  • NOTE: The double draper drive option is not compatible with the 1425D Platform.

First pass - right discharge

Second pass - right discharge

Third pass - left discharge

Swath forming rods

Optional left- and right-end swath deflector rods form a space between the windrow and uncut crop to have adequate clearance for the crop divider on the next pass.
