Two seasons now.

Didn't macdon just bring out new model? So have they had 2 models?

No.
Units are identical except paint.

There has been no big change since 155/205 series came out about 4 years ago.
Deere only markets the 155 clone. 205 too close in power to they're own tractor.

Since your a stickler for details I'm gonna correct ya on that one.

McDeere comes prewired for Greenstar/Starfire/ATU
Macdon is available with Raven products.

Correct on Greenstar/Starfire/ATU.

MacDon offers some sort of generic harness for auto steer I think.
Mine happens to be Trimble.

If only we didn't have to play $235,000 to get a swather without that mickey mouse auto steer.

Autotrac ready with integrated steering for 2015. http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee475/pederbilt/thecombineforum.com/19285457-B008-494B-AC39-FAD7FFFF6027_zpsskl6esay.jpg

If the cost was the same would you guys get a Mac-Deere or a W235?( guys that have ran both)

 

[JDFarmerWally]

Had good luck with our W150 with Autotrac Universal. That being said nothing beats integrated autotrac.

 

[volkswagon]

I was told that 2014's are upgradable to integrated autotrac. Can somebody confirm this?

 

[volkswagon]

Still waiting for an answer

 

[Spraysmart]

No the 2015 W150 can be ordered with a dealership installed autotrac controller that makes them integrated.

I did some more checking and I was wrong heres a quote from the Deere website:

The integrated hydraulic kit delivers improved line acquisition and faster cutting speeds over the ATU 200 AutoTrac system. The following additional components are required to make the integrated AutoTrac system fully operational on the W150 windrowers:
Starfire 3000 Receiver
GS3 2630 or GS2 1800 display with 2015-1 (available Spring 2015) or newer software update
Integrated hydraulic kit
AutoTrac controller kit
Display bracket kit
GPS receiver universal mounting kit

Valve kit is listed at 4583 CAD but dont see anything about controller. No chance its all one package? should be able to throw this in older than 2015 macs too I would think.

 

[Jason Hildebrand]

I'm pricing it with my dealer to install on a 2013 M155. There is a kit supported for 2014-2015 models older ones are unknown.
