Windrowing technology takes another leap forward
How do you improve a machine that has set industry benchmarks for speed and productivity? The answer is you focus on pushing the boundaries even further; things like giving every model a horsepower boost, improving operator comfort with an all-new suspension system and boosting infield performance with an upgraded header drive. What you won’t find changed are the things operators loved, such as intuitive controls, easier maintenance and the exclusive Dual Direction® technology that permits faster travel to and from the field at road speeds up to 23 MPH (37 km/h). | ||||||||||||||||

EXCEPTIONAL CROP CLEARANCE The M Series frame features a wide wheel stance and an unobstructed, unmatched 45.7" (1160 mm) below frame clearance when cutting bushy crops. | ||||||||||||||||

NEW MORE EFFICIENT HEADER DRIVE To ensure that every ounce of power being generated is effectively delivered to the header drive motor, the M205 Windrowers feature a completely new header drive with a load-sensing circuit. The result is a simpler – more efficient – design with fewer working components that promises to be more constant, more dependable in tough cutting conditions. The header lift speed has even been increased thanks to a larger hydraulic pump. Add draper or auger headers with ease with a simple valve block. | ||||||||||||||||
MAKING YOU FASTER IN THE FIELD, FASTER BETWEEN FIELDS AND FASTER HOME Switching from field to highway mode takes only three seconds with MacDon’s Dual Direction® technology. (Available on M205 and M155). MacDon’s patented Dual Direction® technology (models M205 and M155) allows you to switch to highway travel mode in seconds and travel at highway speeds of up to 23 MPH (37 km/h). Better still, there is no need to detach the header and transport it via flatbed, saving you even more time and labor when moving from field to field. (Limitations may occur due to road width restrictions with larger headers.) | ||||||||||||||||
ERGONOMIC CAB MacDon’s ergonomic cab, designed specifically for windrowing, ensures operator control and comfort during long harvest days. Its cab forward design and curved glass provide unparalleled visibility of the cutterbar, the stubble and full field conditions. | ||||||||||||||||
NEW ULTRA GLIDE™ SUSPENSION SYSTEM M Series Windrowers are not just all about muscle and power; they also have a softer side, thanks to MacDon’s new Ultra Glide™ Cab suspension system. This four-corner “custom tuned” independent suspension system features suspension stabilization to prevent cab roll and “chop” for what is likely to be the smoothest ride you’ve ever experienced in a windrower. | ||||||||||||||||
COMPUTERIZED CUTTING CONTROL WITH HARVEST MANAGER PRO M Series Windrowers come with a fully computerized monitoring and header control system that provide the operator with real time readout of the header’s cutting performance and critical information. Operators will also enjoy easy, intuitive fingertip control of all header functions including MacDon’s highly popular “return-to-cut” feature that allows the operator to precisely return the header to the same setting after lifting it. The M105 features the Harvest Manager which includes some of the same monitor read-out display functions. | ||||||||||||||||
|
EASY UNPLUGGING FROM THE CAB MacDon’s Hydraulic Header Reverser (optional for M205 and M155 windrowers) allows the operator to quickly unplug the conditioner and other major header components on augers and drapers without leaving the operator’s station. | ||||||||||||||||
NEW ENHANCED AIR INTAKE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM All regular engine and hydraulic maintenance points are within easy reach thanks to MacDon’s patented movable rail platform. The cooling system’s cores are easily slid or swung out for fast cleaning. To accommodate the larger engine, the M205 and M155 feature a completely redesigned air intake and exhaust system which has resulted in a reworking of the windrower’s body and hood to allow for greater airflow into the engine. To keep up, the air filter has also been enlarged which has provided the added bonus of longer periods between service intervals. | ||||||||||||||||
Sliding platforms. The sliding platform can be moved back to front to allow access to a number of service points including fuel fill, engine air filter, engine service points and access to cab doors. Additionally, the platform can be moved rearward to allow service of electrical and hydraulic components on the windrower. | ||||||||||||||||
Large and easy access toolbox. The new larger toolbox is attached to the sliding platform to ensure that tools and replacement components are available when required. | ||||||||||||||||
