Revision C
1 INTRODUCTION
This instructional manual contains information on the MacDon Model M150 and M200 Self-Propelled Windrowers that
are designed to cut and lay in windrows, a wide variety of grain, hay and specialty crops. Windrowing allows starting
the harvest earlier, protects the crop from wind damage, and gives you more flexibility in scheduling combine time.
The power unit (referred to in this manual as the “Windrower”), when coupled with one of the specially designed
auger, rotary, or draper headers, provides a package which incorporates many features and improvements in design.
This manual must be used in conjunction with your Header Operator's Manual.
CAREFULLY READ ALL THE MATERIAL PROVIDED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO UNLOAD, ASSEMBLE, OR USE
THE MACHINE.
Use this manual as your first source of information about the machine. If you follow the instructions given in this
manual, your M150 and M200 Windrower will work well for many years. If you require more detailed service
information, check with your MacDon Dealer.
Use the Table of Contents and the Index to guide you to specific areas. Study the Table of Contents to familiarize
yourself with how the material is organized.
Keep this manual handy for frequent reference, and to pass on to new operators or owners. Call your MacDon Dealer
if you need assistance, information, or additional copies of this manual. A manual storage case is provided in the cab.
NOTE: The M150 and M200 Windrowers are dual direction, meaning that the Windrower can be driven in the cab-
forward or the engine-forward modes. Right-Hand and Left-Hand designations are therefore determined by the
Operator’s position, facing the direction of travel. This manual uses the terms right cab-forward, left cab-forward, right
engine-forward, and left engine-forward when referencing specific locations on the machine.
