Driving on Road in Engine-Forward Mode

In engine-forward mode, the operator's station faces the engine. M2 Series Windrowers are designed to be driven on the

road with the engine facing forward to provide better visibility for the Operator and improved stability for the machine.

Windrowers sold in North America can also be driven on roads in cab-forward mode, with or without a header attached,

but at a reduced speed and under restricted conditions. For instructions, refer to

Windrowers sold outside of North America: Do NOT drive the windrower on the road in cab-forward mode, as the

lighting and marking will not be compliant with road regulations.

A collision between the windrower and other vehicles may result in injury or death.
