Excellent visibility to cutterbar and belt

Cutterbar visibility Cutterbar visibility
Right-side visibility Right-side visibility
Left-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

Gauge wheels provide ground following for uniform cut

Dual gauge wheel option Dual gauge wheel option
#

D1500 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

Hydraulic deck shift gives larger windrows for more efficient harvesting

John Deere D1525, D1530, and D1535 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.

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 D1525 Platform.

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.

Transport easily with integrated transport system

#

Slow-speed transport system:

  • D1500 Drapers are towable only with the W170 Self-Propelled Windrower
  • Transport is recommended behind a tractor with seven-pin electrical lighting outlet
  • D1530, D1535, and D1541 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
