900 Series Harvest Headers for Windrowing
What If You Could Do All Your Harvesting With Just One Header?
Think of it, a single high performance header that performs as well in cereal crops, hay and forage as it does in more difficult specialty crops like edible beans, peas and rice. Better still, what if that same header could be used for windrowing as well as direct cutting with your combine – not only saving you the capital cost of a second header but also allowing you to maximize the harvesting capacity of both your windrowing tractor and your combine? Finally, what if that one header delivered exceptional cutting and smooth, heads first crop flow, even in downed or tangled crop?

Stand Up To The Rigors Of Intensive Around-The-Clock Harvesting
If all this sounds too good to be true then you haven’t witnessed a MacDon Harvest Header® in action. Tough and versatile, these high performance harvesting machines feature MacDon’s advanced draper technology which includes a unique tensioning mechanism and MacDon’s exclusive V-guide draper that combine to deliver positive draper tracking under even the most adverse crop conditions. The special long life SBR rubber skim coated drapers feature cross slats with reinforced fiberglass cores to stand up to the rigors of intensive around-the-clock harvesting.


In addition, the MacDon designed highly efficient mechanical sickle drive system delivers worry free operation and uninterrupted cutting under the toughest conditions. If you seek the ultimate harvesting machine, you’ve found it in the MacDon Harvest Header.
