Hydraulic Header Tilt
The hydraulic header tilt cylinder allows you to adjust header and guard angles on-the-go from the comfort of the cab, enabling you to get the knife and guards closer to the ground for recovery of downed crops and improved performance in crops such as peas, lentils and edible beans. For all MacDon 900 Series headers.
   
Hydraulic Fore-Aft Reel Positioner With this draper header fore and aft reel positioner, you’ll be able to adjust the reel position to changing crop and field conditions on-the-go from the cab. For MacDon Harvest Headers.
   
Spring Loaded Gauge Wheels Designed for MacDon’s draper headers, these spring loaded wheels help cushion the ends of the header when moving over field obstacles. The size of wheels vary depending on draper header model (check with dealer for details). For MacDon Harvest Headers 30' and larger and 974 FlexDrapers.
   
Upper Cross Auger
Attached in front of the back tube, the upper cross auger improves feeding of crop to the center in heavy crop conditions. It is ideal for high volume harvesting of forages, oats, canola, mustard and other tall, hard to feed crops. 21' auger on 963, full length auger on 972 and 973 Harvest Headers and 974 FlexDraper.
   
Gauge Rollers
Gauge rollers are attached behind the cutterbar to reduce wear on the cutterbar wear plate and improve the movement of the header over uneven terrain, as well as in sand or firm soil conditions. For MacDon auger headers, the 972 Harvest Header and the 933 Grass Seed Special.
   
Skid Shoes
The addition of adjustable skid shoes (shown with optional poly cover on 973 Harvest Header) improves the placement of the cutterbar in relation to the ground, thereby reducing wear on the cutterbar and enhancing the in-field performance of the header. For all MacDon Harvest Headers (Standard on 974 FlexDraper).
   
Float Optimizer
MacDon’s Float Optimizer communicates with your combine’s electronics to automatically adjust header flotation to ground conditions for a consistently close cut.
   
Stub Guards
Stub guards mount directly to the cutterbar to improve the header’s cutting performance in tough, stringy grass type crops, and crops that need to be cut close to the ground (such as grass seed and edible beans). For all MacDon 900 Series headers, except model 963.
   
Poly Skids
If you routinely experience muddy harvesting conditions, or work in crops like soybeans, rice, lentils and edible beans, these poly skids permit smoother traveling of the cutterbar over the ground, and reduce the likelihood of mud building up on the cutterbar. For 972 and 973 MacDon Harvest Headers (Standard on 974 FlexDraper).
   
Double Windrow Attachment
This attachment allows you to lay a double windrow of conditioned crop. For all MacDon auger headers and double knife drive 972 Harvest Headers up to 25'.
   
Self-Contained Header Transport System
This system cushions and guides the ends of the header on MacDon’s larger draper headers, plus enables transportation at slower road speeds of 30' and larger headers between fields. The size of wheels and transport configuration vary depending on draper header model and size (check with dealer for details). For MacDon Harvest Headers 30' and larger and 974 FlexDrapers. Recommended for combine application only.
   
Self-Contained Header Transport System – Without Flotation
Designed for slow speed transport of Harvest Headers between fields, this quick and easy-to-use system allows you to tow the header behind your MacDon SP tractor for traveling on public roads. For 21' and 25' 972 Harvest Headers.
   
Hydraulic Conditioner Roll Opener Avoid leaving the cab to unplug conditioner rolls with this hydraulically powered option for your MacDon auger header 722 Hay Conditioner.
