The R1 lays down well-formed, well-conditioned wide to narrow windrows to suit a variety of conditioning needs.
Low Horse Power Requirements (PTO Completion Package)
Requires only 100hp for 13’ and 125hp for 16’ model. 1000 PTO 1.375” (35mm) / 21 spline or 1.75” (45mm) / 20 spline. Less horse power means less fuel consumption.
Polyurethane Inter-Meshing Rolls
Conditioner Action
Delivers a combination crimp/crush action while being more gentle to plant leaves
Application
A combination of the wide rolls (129”) which promotes a thin material mat and the roll profile (crush type) is ideally suited to such crops as alfalfa, alfalfa/grass mix
Also effective for finer stemmed plants which usually have more solid stems like native hay, timothy and bermuda grass
Steel Inter-Meshing Rolls
Conditioner Action
A crimp style is especially effective for stiff or solid plant stem material
Produces well-formed windrows over a wide range of widths
Application
For high volume crops where aggressive feeding through header is an advantage, such as milo, sudan grass, and oats
In smooth stemmed crops like timothy, the steel bars provide positive crop flow from cutterbar to the windrow
For alfalfa producers, the steel inter-meshing roll action assists plant dry down by creating uniform crimps on the plant stem, without bruising the delicate leaves
Able to provide consistent conditioning through uneven crop volumes
In areas where crops and or conditions are considered to be abrasive
Extremely durable requires minimal maintenance
DWA - More Efficiency, Fewer Passes
The MacDon Double Windrower Attachment (DWA) enhances the MacDon R1 Pull-Type rotary disc mower, giving operators more control over windrow placement and reducing post-cutting passes.
Features:
• Reduces the need for raking and merging • Merges every second pass when used alone • Pair with the MacDon R1 FR for single-pass double windrows • In-cab hydraulic control for seamless operation • Compatible with any MacDon R1 PT
Finger Conditioner
Conditioner Action
Wipes stem wax from plant stems
Application
Crops and conditions where removal of stem waxes combined with fluffier windrows are able to achieve desired dry down times such as Coastal Grass and other mixed forages
Requires the least amount of horsepower of the conditioner types
