This John Deere W540 is a grain harvester equipped with a cutting header, designed for harvesting cereal crops. John Deere manufactures a comprehensive range of agricultural machinery spanning harvesters, tractors, and specialist field equipment, serving commercial farming operations worldwide. The W540 combines the harvesting platform with a dedicated header attachment to cut, gather, thresh, and process grain in a single pass.
The machine is powered by a John Deere PowerTech PVX engine of 6.8 litres with six cylinders. Power is transmitted through a hydrostatic transmission offering 25 speeds, with three manual forward speeds. The threshing mechanism uses a drum with five shakers arranged across 11 adjustment levels, enabling crop-specific tuning for efficient grain separation.
The grain storage tank holds 8,000 litres. Unloading is performed by a rigid auger extending 5.2 metres, capable of maximum discharge rates of 88 litres per second. A straw chopper with smooth blades and two-speed settings with manual spread control processes crop residue. The machine features dual transmission for the beater, a universal counter-beater suited to all crop types, and a mechanically adjustable sieve for fine grain cleaning.
The operator cabin is equipped with automatic air conditioning, ventilation, and heating. The operator seat features pneumatic suspension; a passenger seat is folding. A performance monitor displays loading data from both shakers and sieve. Exterior lighting includes eight lamps mounted on the cabin roof (four work lights, two long-range road lights, and two short-range position lights), plus additional illumination in the grain tank, on the sieve, for reverse travel, and rear position and indicator lights.
The front tyres are 650/75 R32 and rear tyres are 480/80 R26, both Goodyear brand with medium wear. A manual towing coupler is fitted. The machine runs on an electronic and hydraulic header connector compatible with multicoupler systems.
The included John Deere 618R cutting header (2009 manufacture, serial number Z0618RX034762) has a cutting width of 5.5 metres and features a rapid-fold extension mechanism. The engine has accumulated 3,835 operating hours. The machine is located in Fetești, Romania and is not available for financing.
