Features

Cutterbar and Frame Profile

Close-up of a windrower header showing the cutterbar with sharp triangular knives and the belt behind it, with pickup tines visible at the top edge

The C-shaped cutterbar profile aids in smooth crop flow. It creates a high-quality seal between the draper and cutterbar, reducing material accumulation under the belts to help minimize crop loss, especially in shatter-prone conditions.

Positive-Feeding Reel

Close-up of the end of a windrower header, showing the circular drive mechanism, reel arms with tines, and safety and lighting components

The robust reel design includes heavy-duty plastic fingers, enabling smooth and reliable operation across various crop conditions. This design reduces wear on components and minimizes crop shattering, promoting efficient and quieter operations at elevated reel speeds.

Excellent Visibility Across the Full Range of Tilt

View from inside a windrower cab looking over the header as it cuts through a tall crop field, with rows of harvested plants visible

The cutterbar design affords excellent visibility across all tilt ranges, allowing operators to easily see the cutterbar and belt from the cab, even with the optional top-crop conveying auger installed. Operators can tilt the cutterbar mechanically or hydraulically from the cab, adjusting the angle to suit varying crop and field conditions.
