5.8.8 Knifehead Shield

The knifehead shield attaches to the endsheet and reduces the knifehead opening to prevent cut crop from

accumulating in the knifehead cut-out.

The shields and mounting hardware are available from your MacDon Dealer.

Remove the shields when cutting with the cutterbar on the ground in muddy conditions. Mud may pack into the

cavity behind the shield which could result in knife drive box failure.
