The windrower can be used to tow a MacDon

option installed, provided the Weight Box option
is installed on the windrower, or an approved
header transporter with weight transfer to the lift
arms.
WARNING
Harvest Header with Transport Option
The windrower without the header must not
be used to tow headers due to reduced
traction and possible loss of control unless
the Weight Box option is installed on the
windrower.
