Our Road-Friendly Transport™ option is available on both models and transforms the R1 into a road-friendly 2.75 m (9’) wide transport. Switch from field to transport in 30 seconds, for quick and safe travel to, from, and between fields. Moving from a 3 m (10’) to a 4.9 m (16’) mower can increase productivity by 60%, making this option ideal for operations in which transport width restrictions are a limiting factor.* Cannot be used with the DWA attachment
Our low-profile, forward-mounted cutting discs provide a flat header angle, resulting in a cleaner, smoother cut.Our new cutterbar design is backed by MacDon’s 3-Year cutterbar warranty. That’s just our way of ensuring worry-free harvesting performance.

Requires only 100hp for 13’ and 125hp for 16’ model. 1000 PTO 1.375” (35mm) / 21 spline or 1.75” (45mm) / 20 spline. Less horse power means less fuel consumption.
Polyurethane delivers a combination crimp and crush action while being more gentle on plant leaves. The crushing action of the 328 cm (129") wide polyurethane rolls produce a windrow that promotes quick even dry down of crops like alfalfa and alfalfa grass mixes. The polyurethane is also very effective on fine stemmed plants with solid stems like native hay, timothy, and Bermuda grass.
Conditioner ActionA crimp style is especially effective for stiff or solid plant stem materialProduces well-formed windrows over a wide range of widthsApplicationFor high volume crops where aggressive feeding through header is an advantage, such as milo, sudan grass, and oatsIn smooth stemmed crops like timothy, the steel bars provide positive crop flow from cutterbar to the windrowFor alfalfa producers, the steel inter-meshing roll action assists plant dry down by creating uniform crimps on the plant stem, without bruising the delicate leavesAble to provide consistent conditioning through uneven crop volumesIn areas where crops and or conditions are considered to be abrasiveExtremely durable requires minimal maintenance
