Features may include:

• John Deere merger attachment

• Increase productivity by combining up to three windrows at time of cut, with the new John Deere Merger Attachment. It provides a versatile solution with the option of creating a center windrow discharge or a side windrow discharge. This solution helps enable the operator to get the windrow width and volume they desire. By raising the merger the operator can discharge the crop under the traction unit, creating their desired center windrow shape.

• In order to side windrow discharge, the merger is engaged by lowering the merger table. The Self-Propelled Windrower will detect when the merger is installed, which will automatically integrate the merger lift state identifier, merger drive status, master merger switch, and the belt slip indicator into the display. The merger attachment is capable of moving crop either on top of or next to another windrow, so when the merger attachment is engaged, the operator can combine up to three windrows together.

• Ease Of Use

• The merger offers integrated functions, including the lift state identifier, merger drive status, master merger switch, and the belt slip indicator. It detects merger and head engagement and notifies the operator if the merger is in the down and off position. Certain features are automatically pre-set by default when the merger master switch is turned to on, it automatically integrates the preset 1/2/3 commands with the automation buttons. When the merger master switch is on, button one raises the head and merger to be used at the end of a row, button two lowers the head and merger while engaging the merger, and button three prepares the head for a center windrow discharge. Conversely, if the merger master switch is off, these commands will not be displayed. The merger presets can be toggled On/Off using the automation button run page.

• Other features like TouchSet™ and AutoTrac™ guidance, can also be controlled with the press of a button from the integrated in cab hydro-handle. TouchSet allows for platform features like windrow width formation, swath flap, forming shields, and roll gap adjustments to be controlled from the comfort of the cab. The AutoTrac guidance system enables precise steering and path accuracy, minimizing overlaps and skips during operation, resulting in improved efficiency and field coverage. These features contribute to the overall ride experience and mowing performance.

• Adjustability

• On the John Deere Merger Attachment, the options for adjusting merger to crop conditions include modifying the belt speed and belt angle.

• Belt speed is adjustable to include a variety of throw distances that include options for next-to or on-top-of discharge, enabling the operator to get the windrow shape they desire. To make adjustments the operator can increase or decrease belt speed by increasing or decreasing the set point on the merger display screen or can control the belt speed by using the hydro-handle rear scroller. The merger height can also be adjusted by using the height adjustment buttons found on the merger run page.

• The merger angle is adjustable by adjusting the four bolts on the lift system to the desired angle and by adjusting to the desired speed. Altering the merger angle affects the trajectory of the crop. These adjustments empower operators to attain their preferred windrow shape. Additionally, no adjustments are required for belt tracking because the merger features self-aligning belt tracking and is equipped with a single-point belt tension.
