2019 John Deere Pull-Type Mower-Conditioners C400

2025 John Deere Pull-Type Mower-Conditioners C400

• Reduce service time with Quick Change Knives

• Updated design and styling

• Decreased horsepower and fuel requirements due to lighter weight1

• Easier serviceability with modular-design cutterbar

• Impeller, urethane or V-10 conditioners

Features may include:

• 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.

• Each cutting disk is attached to a shear hub (driver) on the splined pinion gear. Power to the disk is interrupted when the driver shears to protect the internal components of the cutterbar. Damage is limited to exposed components and does not require disassembly of the cutting modules.

• Reduces damage to the cutterbar and driveline components

• Improved uptime with limited disassembly required

• The gauge shoe setting determines the height of the crop stubble, but also prevents the majority of the cutterbar from being in constant contact with abrasive soils and rocks. The S250, S300, S350, C300, C350, and C400 have three height adjustments on the gauge shoe. The C450 and C500 come from the factory with six adjustments. Through service attachments, gauge shoe extensions are available to increase the number of adjustments if there is a need for higher stubble height.

• Save time with quick-change knives
