Features

Cab suspension provides a smooth ride for maximum productivity in rough fields

#
#

A four-point independent suspension delivers a smoother, more comfortable ride. The W170 has four coil-spring shock absorbers working in conjunction with fore-aft and side-to-side stabilizers to minimize cab roll. The shocks are placed at each corner of the cab so the entire cab can go up or down from the resting position. This suspension makes the W170 one of the most comfortable cabs in the industry.

Visibility and powerful exterior lighting make harvest easier during day and night

The large, wide-front glass and cab positioned forward and above the platform give excellent visibility to the cutterbar and incoming crop across the widest platforms. This allows ease of operation and maximum productivity even in the toughest cutting conditions.

LED lighting is used to give the operator excellent visibility when operating at nighttime or in low-visibility conditions.

  • Four LED and two high-intensity discharge (HID) lights are mounted to the front of the cab to illuminate the cutting area in front of the platform. This gives excellent visibility to the crop and obstacles in the field.
  • Two rear work lights are mounted on the rear of the machine.
  • Four adjustable side or rear-facing work lights are mounted on the rear of the cab to illuminate the area to the sides and rear of the machine. This allows operators to see stubble and obstacles in the field. The left-hand side light has a delay egress feature.
  • When transporting in road range, the flashing hazard lights (and beacon lights, if equipped) come on automatically.

An optional HID lighting package is available with the base cab. Optional warning beacon lights are available, providing additional visibility during transport.

Optional reverser clears plugs effortlessly for higher productivity during tough harvest conditions

#

An optional reverser is available on the W170. It is easily activated from the operator’s station to clear the platform of plugs that may occur.

 

On the D1500 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 D1500 Platforms.

Quick-attach platforms make transport and storage a breeze

Attaching and detaching platforms is easy, allowing fast and narrow draper transport and the ability to quickly change from hay to grain harvest. This allows those with diverse operations to use the machine for more hours annually, spreading out their costs.

 

A hose management system is conveniently located in one spot, housing two hydraulic and one electrical connection.

Hydraulic and electrical connections are compatible with the D400 Series draper heads, and 100A Series auger heads.

Center link

An optional self-alignment kit comes with the hydraulic center link, making attaching and detaching a breeze for those who move fields frequently or want the ease of attaching. This kit gives the capability to move the center link up and down with a cylinder under the cab controlled by the reel fore-aft buttons on the multifunction control lever.

The pin on the lower lift arms allows for easy changeover from draper to auger platforms and also for changing from wide draper in-field operation to narrow transport.

Springs and float-fine adjust Springs and float-fine adjust

Springs are easily adjustable. Simply raise the platform to relieve spring pressure and turn the bolt to adjust the leverage on the springs. This allows changing platforms quickly and easily.

 

The float-fine adjust is in base equipment for the W170. It uses a small hydraulic cylinder to adjust spring length and force independently on each side. This also allows changing the platform float for varying field conditions on the go and has three memory positions from which to select. The float-fine adjust also allows rebalancing the platform when using the deck-shift feature by using the same controls on the armrest.

Narrow draper transport with W170

Transport wider draper platforms with ease and control using the ballast box and the D1500 with an integrated transport system.

It also enables narrow transport when used with a D1500 Draper Platform with the integrated slow-speed transport system. The ballast box shifts weight onto the drive tires for traction and control when in transport. It also has a hitch for attaching and towing the D1500 Platform. It is required to have the electrical wiring harness and hitch pin kit to provide a seven-pin connector on the ballast box for lighting. This provides the W170 and D1500 Platform with visibility for safe transport.
