6.3.8.2 Towing Header with Windrower
WARNING
Harvest Header with Transport Option
• The windrower without the header must
not be used to tow headers due to reduced
traction, and possible loss of control,
unless the Weight Box option is installed
on the windrower, or a header transporter
that transfers weight to the lift arms.
• For towed equipment without brakes, do
not exceed 20 mph (32 km/h).
The windrower can be used to tow a MacDon
Harvest Header with the Slow Speed Transport
option installed, provided the Weight Box option is
installed on the windrower, or an approved header
transporter with weight transfer to the lift arms.
