OPTIONS AND ATTACHMENTS
7.3 Header Operation
Several kits are available which can augment the capabilities of the header attached to the windrower, or which allow the
windrower to be used with different types of headers.
7.3.1 Booster Spring Kit – External
This kit increases the float capacity of the windrower. Install this kit on windrowers paired with headers that weigh more
than 2812 kg (6200 lb.).
MD #B6047 – Booster Spring kit (external) includes two springs (one for each side) and mounting brackets. Instructions are
included in the bundle.

MD #B6617
Instruction MD #214701 included in the bundle.
7.3.3 Swath Compressor
The MacDon Swath Compressor is a large, formed polyethylene sheet which is designed to mount to the underside of your
windrower. The MacDon Swath Compressor is designed for use with draper headers when cutting canola.
When lowered, the swath compressor helps prevent wind damage by shaping the windrow and anchoring it into the
stubble behind the header. This reduces the occurrence of shelling in the windrow.
™
The swath compressor height can be adjusted and monitored with the HarvestTouch
Display. Height can be adjusted for
crop ripeness, yield, and the amount of compression required. The swath compressor will automatically lift up if the
Operator stops or reverses the windrower.
Preferred height can be saved under a One-Touch-Return preset.
MD #B6995
