COLORADO WINDROWER

650/65R38 ALLIANCE 550 TIRES ON JOHN DEERE W235 WINDROWER

Farmers rely on windrowers to efficiently cut, separate, and arrange hay or small grain crops into neat rows for drying, making the harvesting process more efficient. A windrower, equipped with a cutting mechanism, slices through the crops, while a conditioning system helps to speed up the drying process by breaking down the stems. After the cutting and conditioning, the windrower then gathers the crop into uniform windrows. This precision is crucial for maximizing yield and ensuring the quality of the crop, whether it’s hay, alfalfa, or small grains like wheat or oats. 

In certain regions, like Colorado, the terrain and varying weather conditions can pose challenges for windrowers. This is where turf tires come in. Turf tires are designed to provide a gentler, more even distribution of weight, reducing soil compaction and minimizing damage to delicate soil structures. This is particularly important in areas where crops are grown on fields with soft or uneven ground and in turf or pasture applications. Turf tires offer increased traction and stability while minimizing the environmental impact, allowing farmers to operate their windrowers more efficiently and smoothly, even on more sensitive ground. 

For a recent customer in Colorado, AXON was able to create a custom tire and wheel solution that met the unique needs of their John Deere W235 Windrower. By equipping the machine with 650/65R38 Alliance 550 turf tires, we provided a solution that offered enhanced performance on the soft, uneven ground, while still ensuring the windrower could handle the demanding conditions of cutting and windrowing hay. The Alliance 550 tires are known for their durability, excellent grip, and reduced soil compaction, making them an ideal choice for agricultural applications. This custom setup not only helped the customer achieve optimal field conditions but also ensured that their equipment would run smoothly, enhancing both efficiency and the long-term health of their fields.
