NOW THERE’S EVEN MORE SPEED IN SPEEDROWER®
New Speedrower® Self-Propelled Windrowers allow you to travel faster and get the job done quicker than ever before, while giving you the industry-leading power, control, comfort and performance you’ve come to expect from New Holland. Industry-leading new features speed the Speedrower models past other SP Windrowers on the market.
NEW 24-MPH, HIGH-SPEED, FORWARD-LOOKING TRANSPORT
A factory-installed, three-range hydrostatic transmission option provides road speeds up to 24 mph—the fastest in the industry—so you can enhance your productivity and efficiency by spending less time on the road and more time cutting crop. There’s no need to change to “transport mode,” swivel your seat, or navigate the road looking over a large engine
hood as some other windrowers require.
NEW IMPROVED STEERING CONTROL
The new hydraulically controlled steering system eliminates mechanical steering linkages, including six rods and pivot points, for simpler, more precise steering. New components contribute to the best-in-class high-speed performance available with the 24-mph high-speed option. When you combine this with New Holland’s best-in-class rear axle suspension and Comfort Ride™ cab, you get the smoothest, most responsive windrower handling ever.
SWIVEL POST IS CASTERED AT NINE DEGREES for faster response when changing direction or turning quickly. This innovative, nine-degree position change leads to supreme handling and control in all cutting applications.
ANTI-SHIMMY SHOCK ABSORBERS are included on the rear caster wheels of windrowers
equipped with the high-speed transport option and all cast rear wheel supports for improved
steering control.
NEW REAL SUPPORT FOR REAL TERRAIN
You get a choice of tires with rugged support arms to match your needs. NEW larger 16.5L tires provide a smoother ride over pivot irrigation tracks or rough ground. These tires feature a new single cast support arm design to reduce mud and debris buildup, and provide additional clearance for tall fluffy windrows or swaths. Crop will not wrap around the single cast arm, as often happens with fork supports with large tires. The new heavier-design tailfork, rear axle spindles and hubs provide increased structural integrity. Standard 14.0L tires with the new
tailfork design are suitable for most hay operations.
• Choice of three models with Tier 3 emission engines rated at 126, 190 and an industry leading
226 horsepower.
• Increased ground clearance—42.5 inches from head to the rear of the machine
– allows you to easily clear large and fluffy windrows.
• Patented independent rear axle suspension provides an exceptional ride and allows you to increase your speed and efficiency on uneven terrain. This excellent feature is now standard equipment on all Speedrower 200/240 models.
• Comfort Ride™ cab suspension is standard equipment to cushion you from chassis motion for a smooth ride and ultimate productivity in the field.
• The heavy-duty weight box has been redesigned to accommodate 50-pound, laser-cut weights that can be added or removed depending on the size and type of header used. The
correct ballast is critical to optimize front-to-rear weight distribution, which results in improved steering control, particularly at higher transport speeds.
CHOOSE YOUR MONITOR
Select from three monitor options:
• Four-Line display with three lines that you can customize
• Four-Line display with touchscreen-ready, providing all the components to plug and play an
IntelliView™ monitor from another machine
• 10-inch color touchscreen IntelliView™ IV display.
INDUSTRY LEADING COMFORT AND CONTROL
Speedrower windrowers continue to provide optimum visibility, plenty of room and comfort with a full-size instructor’s seat and optional heated leather seat. A floating control console with CommandGrip™ multi-function control handle puts he controls you need at your fingertips.

DRIVE BY OIL, GUIDE BY OIL
With New Holland windrowers, guidance and steering are both controlled hydraulically for precise, immediate response.
INDEPENDENT HYDRAULIC HEADER FLOTATION
All Speedrower 200/240 models and Draper Ready Speedrower 130 models are equipped with independent header flotation, which allows you to adjust flotation separately for the right and left side of the head, without leaving the cab. Nondraper Speedrower 130 models feature unified flotation, with left- and right-hand lift arms carrying the same setting.
NEW SIMPLIFIED ADJUSTMENTS
Header flotation and drop rate adjustments are now independent of each other. The drop rate—how quickly your header lowers to the ground—now has a 1 to 10 user preference setting, making this important feature user-friendly. On Draper Ready models where above-ground cutting is common, operators can program two cut height memory positions and can make changes on the fly with a simple press of a button on the CommandGrip™ multi-function control handle. Also, on Draper Ready models, lift arm position sensors provide a header height readout on the display. If many operators operate the same machine, owners can set and
lock this adjustment to the setting they prefer.
NEW POWER DOWN LIFT ARM FUNCTION
Now, you can remove and attach headers more easily by hydraulically lowering the header lift arms to remove the header without the need to handle manually. The power down option allows a single person to change heads easily and get back to work quickly.
NEW IMPROVED HYDRAULICS
A more reliable hydraulic valve block design includes more robust hydraulic components for less downtime. The valve block is now located under the right-side platform, outside of the engine compartment, and the valves are color coded, all for easy serviceability. More oil is circulated through the coolers for increased cooling that provides more reliability and less downtime.
NEW INTELLISTEER™ INTEGRATED AUTOGUIDANCE
Precision Farming calls for technology that is accurate, easy to understand, and smart for the way you farm. Speedrower® SP Windrowers now have integrated IntelliSteer™ Auto Guidance that is fully installed and tested at our Grand Island, Nebraska plant. Speedrower windrowers can now provide cutting accuracies from +/- 1 inch to 8 inches, so pass-to-pass overlap becomes nonexistent in wide cutting and swathing applications. System components, including the IntelliView™ IV touchscreen display, 372 GPS receiver and Navigation II controller are common to New Holland tractors, combines, sprayers and large square balers.
NEW DURASWATH™ DRAPER HEADERS
For high-capacity swathing of small grains, canola, forage and specialty crops, choose the
NEW DuraSwath™ Draper Heads from New Holland. Available in 25, 30, 36 and 40-foot widths,
DuraSwath headers cut big acreage down to size.
NEW REEL ANGLE
The reel arms on each side of the header operate the reel at a steeper attack angle to reach crop in front of the knives for improved crop feeding, especially in lodged and down crops. You can adjust the reel attack angle as needed on the fly while swathing. All DuraSwath heads come with hydraulic fore/aft and vertical adjustment.
NEW 40-FOOT WIDTH
Choose the 40-foot DuraSwath 440HB head for highest cutting capacity; this head is compatible
with the six-cylinder Speedrower 200 and 240. The DuraSwath 440HB head cuts large acreages
down to size and features a double knife drive, split reel and double reel drive and a center-delivery swath opening. A four-wheel transport integral option is available; all hitch components store right on the head, making it easy to go from field to transport.
NEW STRONGER FRAME
The 6”x10” tube frame and fabricated end struts provide increased frame strength and excellent visibility to the cutterbar so operators can see the crop as it is being cut.
NEW IMPROVED REEL AND REEL DRIVE
The sprocket and chain reel drive system provides faster reel speeds, increased reel speed range and more power. This system also eliminates any overhang of the reel drive motor past the crop deflector to reduce crop run-down. The reel drive coupler now features a heavy spiral spring pin to provide increased shear protection, as well as a collar that positively retains the pin from working out of place. New support collars on both sides of the outer reel bat spiders on each end of the header provide a robust connection of the bat support arms to the center tube on all UII reels.
• The collars bolt directly to the tube and to the bat support arms
• The collars surround the tube and are tightly clamped to the tube
• The cam timing arm’s connection to the reel bats incorporates new cast knuckles that fully wrap around the bats to greatly improve durability. All of these improvements are designed to provide trouble-free performance for the life of the header.
NEW MORE RUGGED CUTTERBAR AND KNIFE DRIVES
An upgraded, low-profile cutterbar allows on-the-ground cutting—from 3/4 to 1-5/8 inches—while still maintaining a guard angle of two to eight degrees. The rugged New Holland cutterbar system works well in all crops and especially well in muddy, down and green crops. The chumacher cutterbar system provides excellent cutting in all crops. A new knife drive motor is
both efficient and reliable to handle the torque resulting from tough conditions. Double heat-treated knife hold-downs have been improved to offer increased durability and easier service adjustment. New, long-life, six-inch-wide poly skid shoes reduce wear on header components in on-ground cutting applications. The new design provides more reliable retention to
the header, and less expensive repairs since you can replace six-inch sections rather than sections that are several feet long.
NEW DRAPER BELTS PULLED, NOT PUSHED
Thick, durable, center-driven Raptor™ draper belts are pulled —not pushed—for improved feeding efficiency. Wider support ribs under the draper belts ensure the belts don’t sag under
heavy crop loads. This improvement combined with a new continuous barrier seal at the front lip of the belts, and mating draper belt guards ensure crop can easily transition from the cutterbar to the draper belts without crop entering the belt roller area.
NEW FLATTER TABLE AND BELT ANGLE
A flatter draper belt angle provides better feeding and improved visibility. There’s ample space on the tables without the need for a cross auger in all but the heaviest crops. Cross augers are available for the 30, 36 and 40-foot models. The center deck opening adjusts from 54 to 72 inches, with an 80-inch opening possible when back panel extensions are removed. The continuous draper seal and segmented slide blocks keep deck slides free from material build-up.
NEW GAUGE WHEEL OPTION
Fully castering gauge wheels with coil spring-over-shock absorbers provide three to eight inches of shock travel for superior ground following and flotation. A simple adjustment linkage provides good mechanical advantage to take the effort out for one-person adjustment. The additional pair of transport wheels from the four-wheel transporter (available with a 40’ header) can be placed directly next to the castering gauge wheels for tandem gauge wheel support on these large headers.
NEW ROTARY SHEAR READY OPTION AND CROP DIVIDERS
New Rotary Shear ready option configures the DuraSwath to be ready for easy installation of cutting shears mounted on the crop dividers. The shears run directly off the knife circuit and help the head cut through downed, tangled, and green crops. Improved, narrower crop dividers reduce crop rundown and feature tool-free attachment and removal so you can remove
them quickly for transport. The standard pipe dividers are best suited for taller crops while the optional floating tip dividers help with on-the-ground cutting.
UNMATCHED SWATHING CAPACITY
When you pair a Speedrower® SP Windrower with a new DuraSwath™ draper head, you can expect your productivity to climb.
NEW UPGRADED HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
A brand-new hydraulic system on Prairie Special Speedrower Series windrowers and on Draper Ready models matched with DuraSwath draper heads provides increased power to the knife, draper and reel circuits. The split hydraulic system features two oversized 40-gallon-per-minute (gpm) piston pumps, allowing the knife to run on one circuit and the draper belts and reel to run on another. This eliminates pressure downstream and provides more available hydraulic horsepower, reducing the need for overall tractor horsepower and thereby lowering fuel usage. To top it off, in-cab speed readouts come standard, allowing the operator to view the knife, reel, and draper belt circuit speeds directly on the monitor.
NEW LIFT ARM FEEDBACK
Lift arm position sensors provide precise feedback to the operator in the cab, showing the relative height of the lift arms. This allows the operator to monitor and adjust the head as the terrain changes or when switching fields. They even show the relative heights of both ends of the header when using lateral tilt in hilly conditions.
NEW LIFT ARM CONNECTION
Attaching the DuraSwath draper header to Speedrower windrowers is nearly effortless. The DuraSwath head connection pockets have integrated guides that seat the lift arms directly into the lift pockets. In addition, the wider lift arms on all Draper Ready units provide excellent visibility, and power-down lift arms (standard on Draper Ready units) and an external
tilt cylinder control further simplify header attachment.
