According to Wirtgen, its new W 210 XF model offers innovative technology for maximum milling performance and is said to be well-equipped for challenging milling tasks.
This new large milling machine has been working on construction sites since January 2025. It is now available in the US, Europe, Australia, Japan and Taiwan. The machine is said to be able to handle a wide array of applications, ranging from surface layer rehabilitation and full-depth pavement removal to fine milling.
A high productivity means that the W 210 XF suits duties for milling on motorways, arterial roads, airports or other large construction projects.
The machine benefits from the sophisticated MILL ASSIST machine control system, which delivers high efficiency for construction operations. In automatic mode, the system ensures that the machine works at an optimum to deliver the best performance while minimising operating costs. The system allows the user to select from three different working strategies that optimise the process in respect of cost, performance or quality.
Power comes from a John Deere diesel delivering 580kW. Wirtgen and John Deere worked closely to fine-tune engine torque to meet the needs of cold milling applications. Combined with the DUAL SHIFT two-speed powershift transmission, this allows a wide range of milling drum speeds. The lower range of milling drum speeds helps to reduce fuel consumption, pick wear and noise emissions. The upper range of milling drum speeds makes it possible to achieve high area performance with a high-quality milling pattern, even at the maximum milling depth of 330mm. This allows the W 210 XF to handle demanding milling tasks with maximum sustainability.
Requirements on construction sites change from one day to another, so versatility is important for a milling machine. To meet this need, Wirtgen has designed the W 210 XF so that its milling drum can be exchanged for a Multiple Cutting System (MCS) milling drum in a few minutes. The ability to rapidly exchange application-specific milling drums with different tool spacings boosts machine productivity. At the same time, the choice of the ideal milling drum for a specific application reduces wear-related costs. Wirtgen offers a range of milling drums for the W 210 XF to meet the requirements of any milling application.
The quick-change milling drum assembly enables the use of milling widths of 2m, 2.2m or 2.5m. With the aid of the quick-change system, the entire milling drum housing can be exchanged in less than an hour.
Wirtgen Group Performance Tracker Milling, in short, WPT Milling, provides automated documentation of milling tasks. The operator is kept constantly informed about the current machine and job parameters, and when the work has been completed, the data is transmitted to the machine owner, who can then use it for fast and precise invoicing. In addition to displaying construction site and machine data, the automated documentation also shows the CO₂ emissions for the entire construction site. The John Deere Operations Center presents all information in real time.
The LEVEL PRO levelling system was developed by Wirtgen specifically for cold milling machines. Control panels provide information and measured values from connected sensors and reduce the machine operator’s workload. The system is integrated in the control system of the cold milling machines and, as essential machine functions are directly interconnected, enables a high level of automation and precise milling results. The system also offers automatic and additional functions that make operation easier, for instance, automatic lifting for driving over manhole covers.
