The John Deere W540 is a self-propelled grain harvester manufactured by John Deere, a leading builder of agricultural machinery for large-scale cereal and grain production. This 2008 model is located in Romania and offered in used condition.
The machine is powered by a John Deere PowerTech PVX engine of 6.8 litres displacement with six cylinders. Power is transmitted through a hydrostatic transmission with 25 forward speeds, controlled manually in three speed ranges. The harvester rides on front tyres measuring 650/75 R32 and rear tyres of 480/80 R26, both Goodyear units showing medium wear.
The threshing system employs a drum with five shakers across 11 settings to separate grain from chaff. A rigid 5.2-metre discharge auger handles grain evacuation at a maximum rate of 88 litres per second. The straw chopper features smooth knives with two speed settings and manual spread adjustment. A universal counter-beater accommodates all crop types, and the sieve incorporates manual adjustment. A multicoupler header connector provides electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical interfaces, while dual transmission serves the threshing drum.
The cabin is fitted as standard with automatic air conditioning, ventilation, and heating. The operator's seat includes pneumatic suspension; a fold-down passenger seat is also provided. A performance monitor displays load sensor data from the shakers and sieve. Lighting comprises eight roof-mounted lamps—four work lights, two long-range headlights, two short-range headlights—together with hopper illumination, sieve lights, reverse light, and rear position and indicator lights.
The harvester includes a manual towing hitch. A John Deere 618R grain header (2009, serial number Z0618RX034762) with a cutting width of 5.5 metres and quick-change extension is included as an attachment. The machine carries no warranty and is not available for financing. The price is $96,000.
