Windrower Headers

To maximize productivity, the all-new MowMax™ II PLUS true modular cutterbar delivers a cleaner cut. Longer knives extend each module’s cutting diameter by nearly an inch and turn with 14 mph faster tip speed (195 mph vs 181 mph) than the previous series at 2,600 disc rpm. For better crop-to-knife engagement, the cast rock guards were reshaped. To improve cutting in light or late-season crops, the profile of the cutterbar was lowered by bringing the discs closer to the cutterbar with new low profile ShockPRO™ hubs. Along with the longer knives, this design is more productive in down and tangled crops as the cutting height was lowered nearly 30%, leaving less uncut crop behind.

To optimize crop flow and conditioning, all-new Durabine 416 PLUS disc rotation delivers crop in four streams into the new Constant Flow Auger. The result? More even windrows with improved center fill. Crop wrapping is prevented and conditioning roll end wear in abrasive conditions is reduced.

Dual counter-stroking sickles feature a timed modular wobble drive that assures smooth cutting with minimal vibration and maintenance. Over-serrated knives slice quickly at over 1,800 rpm and the three-inch stroke delivers unrivaled high-capacity cutting for best-in-class performance. Bolt-on knife sections provide long cutting life and easy replacement, and adjustable knife hold-down clips help speed up maintenance.

The Durabine 416 PLUS Specialty Grass Seed Harvesting head delivers high-capacity performance in delicate crops that do not require conditioning, like grasses, flower seeds, and mint. A unique auger features flighting that tapers as it approaches the center of the head, with no paddles, supports, or conditioning rolls. A flexible lean bar in the front assists tall crop flow into the head, without sudden impacts that could shatter delicate seedpods. A second curtain hanging above the cutterbar improves crop flow. In the back, windrow-forming rods gently direct crop into a windrow ready for harvesting.
