  • Page 3: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION Your new Self-Propelled Windrower is designed to cut and lay in windrows, a wide variety of grain, hay and specialty crops. Windrowing allows starting the harvest earlier, protects the crop from wind damage, and gives you more flexibility in scheduling combine time. The power unit (referred to in this manual as the "tractor"), when coupled with one of the specially designed draper or auger headers, provides a package which incorporates many features and improvements in design requested by Owner/Operators like yourself.
