OPERATION
Towing Header with Windrower
The windrower can be used to tow a MacDon draper header that has the slow speed transport option installed.
Ensure the optional weight box or an approved header transporter is installed on the windrower to transfer weight
to the lift arms.
WARNING
• A windrower without a header or weight box must
NOT be used to tow headers due to reduced
traction and possible loss of control.
• For towed equipment without brakes, do NOT
exceed 20 mph (32 km/h).
