Overview
Serious Conditioning
The R1 FR Series lays down well-formed, well-conditioned windrows with the industry's widest conditioning rollers at 129 inches (328cm) with Steel Inter-Meshing rollers to handle your crop's dry-down requirements.
Steel Inter-Meshing Rolls:
Ideal for stiff or solid plant stems.
Creates well-conditioned windrows across various widths.
Suited for high-volume crops requiring aggressive feeding.
Promotes even plant dry down in smooth-stemmed crops.
Doing More with Less, the R1 FR only requires 100 horsepower for the 13-foot and 125 for the 16-foot models. Less horsepower means less fuel consumption.
MacDon's low-profile forward-mounted cutting discs provide a flat header angle, resulting in a clean, even cut. MacDon's 3-Year Cutterbar Warranty ensures worry-free harvesting performance.
The three-point hitch on MacDon's Front Mount Rotary Disc unit is compatible with category 2, 3, and 3N tractors. Cutting disc rpm is 2652 @ 1000 PTO; a PTO Completion Package is required and installed by your MacDon dealer.
Using minimal ground pressure, the R1 FR's Responsive Float System moves the unit "up and back" as it encounters bumps in the field. This dynamic movement results in true ground following and helps ensure a clean, even cut of your fields.
Double your productivity by pairing the R1 FR with a MacDon R1 Pull-Type. This dynamic duo multiplies your capacity up to an impressive 32 feet of cutting width*. Common parts between the two units mean service and maintenance are a breeze, making this combination a no-brainer for those seeking efficient, high-quality output.
Double Windrower Attachment: Adding a DWA to the R1 Pull-Type further increases productivity by reducing post-cutting passes. The R1 PT's DWA creates single-pass double windrows when paired with the R1 FR.
*Using both Front Mount and Pull-Types together doubles your tractor horsepower requirements. A 32-foot cutting width comes from pairing an R116 FR with an R116 PT.

Each disc spindle on the R1 FR Series cutterbar features a shear pin designed to shear if it comes in contact with a large object in the field. Once sheared, the disc moves up and out of the way of the other discs, reducing the risk of severe damage to the cutterbar. Operators can replace shear in-field and get back to mowing in a short time.
