Compact size equals a perfect fit with smaller tractors and acreages
The S250 allows for a wide range of tractor compatibility. With lower power take-off (PTO) horsepower requirements and the ability to be pulled from most tractor drawbars, this John Deere mower conditioner gives you the ability to cut and condition your hay for improved dry down.
Only requires 41 PTO kW (55 PTO hp)
Simple and easy hookup with the standard clevis hitch
Improved maneuverability for irregular field shapes when equipped with the optional equal-angle hitch
Same reliable cutterbar modules that are used on every John Deere mower conditioner
Transport width of the S250 matches the width of cut for more convenience when moving transporting between fields
Protect your crop with conditioner options to fit your needs
Achieving the right conditioning action can significantly reduce dry down time. That means less time needed to cure, maintaining optimum feed values, and preventing leaf loss in legumes. Hay and forage producers have a wide variety of crops and conditions. That’s why John Deere mower-conditioners offer four different conditioners.
Conditioning reduces the time required for dry down
Multiple conditioner options match a wide variety of crop types
Faster dry down can increase nutrients retained in harvested crops
Suitable for traditional dry hay or haylage operations
Conditioner types include:
Impeller – ideal for light-stemmed grasses and alfalfa that respond well to scuffing of the stems
Urethane – a soft roll that provides excellent performance in legumes and grasses
V10 steel – increased crimping for faster dry down and improved wear life
Tri-Lobe™ conditioner – a premium, patented roll system that uses a chevron design to crimp and crush
Reduced maintenance and proven cutterbar reliability with 5-year coverage
John Deere's patented design cutterbar is made from individual, diagonal-cut modules, making serviceability easy. Each module can be removed for service individually, leaving the remaining cutterbar modules attached to the frame.
Nodular iron modules are highly resistant to impact damage
Large, heavy-duty idler gears reduce driveline speed and wear
Shear hub protection minimizes cost and decreases repair time in the field
Gauge shoes provide accurate control of cut height and protect cutterbar
Low-profile cutterbar allows the operator to cut at a flatter angle for improved cut quality and reduced wear on components
Common oil bath keeps internal components lubricated and reduce oil-level checkpoints
Because John Deere is confident in the reliability, every mower conditioner includes a 5-year warranty on cutterbar components. This gives you peace of mind knowing that if you do experience a warrantable failure, your machine is backed through your experienced, local John Deere dealer.
