John Deere WTS

Precision harvesting with the Walker Tine Separator

John Deere WTS series combines are engineered for farmers who prioritize both grain quality and the structural integrity of straw. By integrating a walker tine separator, these machines bridge the gap between traditional threshing and high-throughput demands, making them a staple for diversified farms.

Operational advantages in the field

• High-efficiency grain separation in high-yield crops without damaging the kernel.
• Gentle handling of straw, ideal for farms that collect residue for livestock bedding or feed.
• Reliable performance in varying humidity levels where other systems might struggle with throughput.

In practice, the John Deere WTS excels in fields where crop conditions fluctuate. The additional beater-separator ensures that straw is thinned out effectively before it hits the walkers, preventing the common issue of matting. For an operator, this means smoother harvesting during long days, reduced downtime, and the ability to maintain consistent ground speed regardless of the crop density.

A balanced approach to grain management

The WTS system is specifically designed to reduce mechanical stress on the crop. By relying on a carefully tuned threshing drum followed by the proactive tine separator, the machine maintains low grain breakage rates—a vital requirement for seed production. Combined with the robust build quality of John Deere, the WTS represents a long-term asset that thrives on versatility. It is the machine of choice for operations that need a dependable workhorse that doesn't sacrifice the quality of the harvested product for the sake of speed.
