John Deere W540 – W660

The W-series combines equipped with a single threshing drum were updated for the year 2016. The most significant change was a larger sieving area. There were two models with 5 rasp bars and two models with 6 rasp bars available. Engine power was slightly increased, and additional power was used when emptying the grain tank. In addition to urea injection and exhaust gas recirculation, the engines featured a particulate filter and an oxidation catalyst. These hot components were placed in a separate sealed and pressurized compartment. John Deere also now offered a 40 km/h road speed.

The options for cutter heads had been increased, following the trend of other manufacturers. In total, there were now six versions of grain platforms, and ±4 degrees of cutter bar tilt was standard. Behind the threshing drum was a straw walker and a separator with rasp bars. A sieving system tilting 7 degrees was now standard. The fan was renewed, and its adjustment range was increased. The rear axle was new and had a greater steering angle. The cab came standard with automatic air conditioning and a noise level of 72 dB.
