New Holland Swather – the HW range of self-propelled windrowers from CNH Industrial: HW305 to HW365, four- to six-cylinder diesels, 4,490 to 7,473 cm³ displacement, 2,100 to 2,300 rpm
New Holland is an agricultural machinery brand of CNH Industrial, the group that also owns Case IH. This page gathers the self-propelled windrowers of the HW range: HW305, HW305S, HW325, HW345 and HW365. A windrower carries a cutting header or draper platform at the front, cuts grain, grass, oilseed rape or lucerne, and lays the crop in a windrow that dries before being picked up by a baler or a combine with a pick-up header. The number in the type designation rises with machine size from HW305 to HW365, and the S on the HW305S marks a separate equipment variant within the smallest size.

The register lists here 5 versions with four- to six-cylinder diesel engines of 4,490 to 7,473 cm³ displacement and rated speeds of 2,100 to 2,300 rpm.
Self-propelled windrowers such as the HW range take over the work of a pull-type mower behind a tractor when large areas must be cut within a narrow window, for instance oilseed rape, lucerne or grain ahead of the grain-moisture limit. They are common above all in North America and in the large-scale arable regions of eastern Europe, where big farms exploit short harvest windows and plan for drying time in the windrow.
When buying used, what counts is the condition of the header and the conditioning rollers, the hydraulics for windrow width and height control, the engine and transmission after the typically high annual hours of seasonal use, and rust on the cab and frame beneath the header mount. Wear parts such as knives, knife holders, belts and conditioner tines run through the New Holland dealer network.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
