John Deere unveils its new WAM 1600 Turbo front-mount rotary mower

This model is now equipped with a Stage 5 engine that meets the latest emission standards, as well as an improved cooling system for intensive use.

This mower is designed for operator comfort, and its fully adjustable high-back air-suspension seat contributes greatly to this. The cutting deck is fitted with pivoting, puncture-proof wheels, which reduces downtime and increases productivity.

With its total cutting width of 3,25 m, the WAM 1600T offers the best in power, maneuverability and traction for landscapers, municipal services, golf courses and other public and private institutions.

The transport speed of this new version now reaches 25 km/h, which improves productivity. The diagnostic system has also been improved to keep downtime as short as possible.

In addition to its all-wheel drive system, proven mechanical rear axle and 83-litre fuel tank, there is a turbocharged Yanmar diesel engine of 60 ch (44 kW).

It is equipped with electronic engine control and a cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system to reduce emissions and improve engine responsiveness.

The new engine offers a high torque reserve and can deliver high power in the most demanding conditions.
Each side deck has a safety feature that allows the cutting housing to move back and swing away from an obstacle, then return automatically to its working position.

The electronic cruise control, hydrostatic steering and tilting steering wheel help increase operator comfort.

In addition, the roll bar can be easily folded down without tools, for safe operation under foliage or in other confined spaces.
