The John Deere W440 is a self-propelled grain harvester designed for cutting, threshing, and collecting cereal crops. John Deere is a globally recognised manufacturer of agricultural machinery, serving farming operations across diverse scales and geographies. This machine represents the combine harvester category—a central piece of equipment in grain production that integrates multiple harvest functions into a single pass through the field.
This 2017 model is powered by an Agco Power Engine of 7.4 litres displacement with six cylinders and SCR Tier IV emissions technology, delivering a maximum output of 238 horsepower. The machine uses a hydrostatic transmission with 25 forward speeds and 3 reverse speeds, providing flexible ground speed control during operation. The threshing mechanism employs a drum thresher with six shakers arranged in four stages, a proven design for efficient grain separation and straw handling.
The grain storage system comprises a 6,500-litre capacity tank fed by a 4.0-metre unloading auger, allowing rapid discharge into transport vehicles during harvest. Straw and chaff management is handled by a high-speed chopper with manually adjustable spread width. The cab is equipped with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning; a colour touchscreen monitor displaying harvest parameters, engine diagnostics, and calibration functions; and both operator and passenger seating. Front tyres are sized 650/65R38 and rear tyres 480/65R24. Lighting includes four headlights (dipped and full beam), four upper work lights, and rear position and indicator lights. The machine does not include GPS guidance.
The harvester is supplied with a John Deere 618R straw header (model year 2017, serial number 1Z0618RBEH0050879) providing a 5.5-metre cutting width. Additional equipment includes a Zurn rapid extension unit fitted to the 618R (2017, serial 20843) and a Zurn SWW200 header cart (2017, serial 20892). A manually operated drawbar coupling is installed. Engine hours recorded at time of listing are 3,294. The machine is located in Romania and financing options are available.
