Attaching R Series or R1 Series Rotary Disc Header
M155
E4
Self-Propelled Windrowers are compatible with R and R1 Series Rotary Disc Headers.
NOTE:
Install 18.4 x 26 tires on the drive wheels when operating an M155
E4
Self-Propelled Windrower with an attached 4 m
(13 ft.) R or R1 Series Rotary Disc Header. These drive tires are reversible and should be mounted inset at 3792 mm
(149.3 in.) to provide the greatest amount of clearance to uncut crop. Mounting these tires outset or mounting any other
drive tire option will result in the drive tires being slightly wider than the header. This may cause some uncut crop to be
trampled by the tires when turning the windrower, and may leave some uncut strips of crop in the windrower
’
s next pass.
