ACDON enters 2008 with a

newly unveiled ﬂ eet of har-

vesting equipment designed to

emphasize the ﬁ rm’s trade moniker, the

Harvesting Specialists. The new line in-

cludes improved hay forage equipment

and harvest headers.

Producers will have a chance to see

this equipment in action during the

ﬁ rm’s Cut Across America Tour which

begins in California and Arizona in

March, and continues into New Mexico,

Texas and Oklahoma. The tour will then

turn north, harvesting crops available

until it ends in Canada. For more, go to

Windrowers. The 2008 lineup in-

cludes a new rendition of the ﬁ rm’s

SP Windrower with features to make it

more productive in the ﬁ eld and faster

Key Points

■ MacDon launched a new line with its

Cut Across America Tour.

■ New ﬂ ex and rigid header technology was

unveiled.

■ Upgraded M series windrowers promise

faster harvesting, representatives say.

on the highway.

The new M series self-propelled wind-

rower features MacDon’s patented Dual

Direction technology, which allows 180-

degree rotation of the operator station

for road stability. The machines have a

top ﬁ eld speed of 16 mph and a top road

speed of 23 mph.

They come in two models: the M150

and the M200. The M150 is powered with

a 130-horsepower, 4.5-liter turbo QSB

Cummins diesel engine that delivers an

additional 10 hp as the load increases.

The M200 is moved by a 213-hp, 6.6-L

Perkins turbo diesel that can knock out

220 hp as rpm drops.

The M series also has a fully comput-

erized header control and monitoring

system to provide the operator with

real-time readouts of the header’s cut-

ting performance. In addition, the M

series has a 45-inch stance for clearance

of large windrows and sports a new hy-

draulic header drive with load-sensing

circuits to keep up with varying loads.

Rotary mower. Another entry in

this year’s MacDon rollout is an all-

new rotary disk mower: the R80.

Hydraulically driven, the R80 provides

a high-capacity pump and motor for

faster cutting speeds under heavy

conditions. The new model uses fewer

moving parts than some competitive

disk mowers, and features heat-treated

cutting and wear components for im-

NEW SERIES: MacDon’s new M series

windrowers come in M150 and M200

(shown) models with upgraded engines

for more efﬁ cient harvesting and a tall,

wide stance for windrow clearance.

THREE-SECTION HEAD: The new

MacDon FD70 draper features a three-

section ﬂ ex technology that can be locked

into a single rigid unit for all types of ﬁ eld

conditions. The FD70 comes in 30-, 35-,

and 40-foot widths.

R80 ROTARY MOWER: The new R80

rotary mower comes in either this pull-

type conﬁ guration or as a header for

the new M80 SP MacDon windrowers

also unveiled this year.

A SERIES: Complete operator control of

conditioning is possible with the new A

series auger, as patented N-bars provide

action from “kink” to gentle crushing. The

augers are conﬁ gured for use on pull-

type harvesters or SP windrowers.

proved reliability.

One of the features of the R80 is its

articulated power turn hitch, which

yields extremely accurate maneuver-

ability, enabling the tractor operator to

make much tighter turns than with con-

ventional mowers. The R80 pull-type is

available with a 13-foot cutting width,

and in 13- and 16-foot widths as a header

for the new M series windrowers.

Draper ﬂ ex header. The company’s

new 40-foot FD70 draper ﬂ ex header

brings a unique three-section ﬂ ex frame

to allow ground-hugging ability and a

balanced ﬂ oating action in undulating

ﬁ elds. While on level ground, the three

sections lock together to form a rigid

proﬁ le header, offering extensive ﬂ ex-

ibility for ﬁ eld conditions.

The header rides on powerful coil

springs to meet the changing contours

of rolling ﬁ elds and maintains a close

relationship between the reel and the

knives for improved harvest efﬁ ciency.

MacDon has equipped the FD70 with

an auto header height control (Float

Optimizer), which allows the header

to automatically adjust ﬂ oatation to

ground conditions, eliminating the need

for constant adjustments. The FD70 is

available for most current model com-

bines (Class 6 up to Class 9) and comes

in a 30- and 35-foot version for those

wanting a smaller header.

Rigid draper header. The new D60

draper header from MacDon shows

steady improvement on the company’s

successful 972 harvest header, prom-

ising 40% more capacity for today’s

largest combines and MacDon’s new M

series windrower tractors. Available in

up to 45-foot widths, the D60 features

a hydraulic knife drive, larger-capacity

motors, sealed roller bearings and V-

guide reversible drapers, and a from-

the-ground-up redesigned PR15 pickup

reel. The D60 comes in 15-, 20-, 25-, 30-,

35- and 40-foot widths for combine and

SP applications. The 45-foot header is

not available for SP windrowers.

A series auger. MacDon’s lineup con-

tinues with the new A series auger for

hay and forage harvesting, in pull-type

and SP header models. Improvements

on the new auger include adjustable

conditioning, a new heavy-duty cutter

bar design and beeﬁ er construction.

The augers feature N-bar conditioner

rolls, which provide conditioning from

“kink” to a gentle crushing action. The

operator also can switch between close

cut and longer stubble cutting lengths

with manual or optional hydraulic

guard angle adjustment on all models.

The pull-type augers are being released

in 14- and 16-foot cutting widths. SP

models are 14-, 16- and 18-foot widths.
