Draper Platforms - D1530 Back
- Greater capacity to process crop with 8-inch deeper belts
- Uninterrupted crop flow with C-shaped cutterbar
- Handle all crop conditions with strong, positive-feeding reel
- Excellent visibility to cutterbar and belt
The C-shaped cutterbar profile provides:
- Smooth crop flow
- Superior draper-to-cutterbar seal
- Reduced amount of material under belts
- Minimized crop loss in shatter-prone crops
Frame allows for uninterrupted crop flow.
The cam real design of the D1500 Series Draper Platform features:
- 165-cm (65-in.) diameter
- Heavy-duty plastic or steel fingers
- Tooth position control
- Smoother and quieter operation at higher reel speeds
- Less wear on reel drive components
- Less shattering of the crop
The hourglass-shaped reel has:
- End positioned closer to the cutterbar to provide smooth feeding
- Adjustable bolt position to change distance of reel to cutterbar
Plastic fingers:
- Standard from the factory on all D1500 Series Platforms
- Recommended for all crop conditions
- Lighter weight and easy to replace
Steel fingers:
- Only available through Parts
- Recommended for heavy forage crop
- Longer life
Optional end fingers improve feeding aggressiveness in difficult feeding and cutting conditions with down and tangled crop.
All 10.7-m (35-ft), 12.2-m (40-ft), and 13.7-m (45-ft) platforms come standard with tine tube stiffener kits to handle heavy crop conditions and improve the life of the platform.
Single span reel:
- 6-m (15-ft), 6.1-m (20-ft), 7.6-m (25-ft), 9.1-m (30-ft), and 10.6-m (35-ft) sizes
- Less weight
- Better center visibility
- Good option for canola and small grains harvesting
Double span reel:
- 6-m (35-ft), 12.2-m (40-ft), and 13.7-m (45-ft) sizes
- Better feeding in heavy, wet, or down crop
- Better control of the reel height for more consistent feeding
The reel is available in five-, six- or nine-bat configurations:
- Six- to nine-bat conversion is available with field installation
- Recommended for heavy conditions such as silage or grass seed crops
The cutterbar design provides excellent visibility across the full range of tilt:
- Cutterbar and belt can be easily seen from the cab even with the optional top-crop conveying auger installed
- Cutterbar can be tilted from the cab mechanically or hydraulically depending on the windrower option chosen
- Change cutterbar angle with varying crop and field conditions for best cut height and crop flow
D1500 Series Draper Platforms offer optional dual gauge wheels with spring suspension:
- 1-cm (15-in.)
- Excellent ground following and flotation in all conditions
- Fine adjust the float on the go from the cab for high-speed harvesting and stable flotation
- Available as part of the integrated slow-speed transport system option
John Deere D1525, D1530, and D1535 Drapers can windrow out of the center, right, or left ends of the draper with the press of a button using the hydraulic shift option.
Hydraulic deck shift option:
- Larger windrows to match combine or self-propelled forage harvester
- Match narrower-width drapers with higher-capacity harvesting
- Place higher-density windrows in front of harvesters when yields are low
- Discharge two windrows side by side for uniform combine or forage harvester feeding
- Move chain stop to change center belt opening quickly and easily for different crop types and density (see operator’s manual for more information)
- Discharge crop to the outside of the headland to prevent running over the windrow while cutting the rest of the field
- Platform stays balanced with automatic fine-float adjustment when using deck shift
- Optional double draper drive bundle is recommended when using deck shift and harvesting silage or wet, heavy crops
- NOTE: The double draper drive option is not compatible with the D1525 Platform.
Optional left- and right-end swath deflector rods form a space between the windrow and uncut crop to have adequate clearance for the crop divider on the next pass.
Slow-speed transport system:
- D1500 Drapers are towable only with the W170 Self-Propelled Windrower
- Transport is recommended behind a tractor with seven-pin electrical lighting outlet
- D1530, D1535, and D1541 Drapers only
- Convert draper from field to transport in minutes with one person and without tools
- Dual front dolly wheel tires and two gauge wheel tires carry the weight of transport
It is a simple four-step process to switch from field to transport:
- Move right gauge wheels from field to transport
- Move left gauge wheels from field to transport
- Attach the tongue
- Detach from the windrower
