2.75 m (9’) Wide Road Friendly Transport™ (Optional)
Our Road-Friendly Transport™ option is available on both models and transforms the R1 into a road-friendly 2.75 m (9’) wide transport. Switch from field to transport in 30 seconds, for quick and safe travel to, from, and between fields. Moving from a 3 m (10’) to a 4.9 m (16’) mower can increase productivity by 60%, making this option ideal for operations in which transport width restrictions are a limiting factor.

Clean Cut
Our low-profile, forward-mounted cutting discs provide a flat header angle, resulting in a cleaner, smoother cut.
Our new cutterbar design is backed by MacDon’s 3-Year cutterbar warranty. That’s just our way of ensuring worry-free harvesting performance.
Serious Conditioning
Featuring the industry’s widest conditioning roll at 328 cm (129"), and 4 interchangeable conditioning options. Choose from Steel Inter-Meshing, Polyurethane Inter-Meshing, Finger Conditioner, or No Conditioner option. The R1 lays down well-formed, well-conditioned wide to narrow windrows to suit a variety of conditioning needs.
Low Horse Power Requirements (PTO Completion Package)
Requires only 100hp for 13’ and 125hp for 16’ model. 1000 PTO 1.375” (35mm) / 21 spline or 1.75” (45mm) / 20 spline. Less horse power means less fuel consumption.
Polyurethane Inter-Meshing Rolls
Polyurethane delivers a combination crimp and crush action while being more gentle on plant leaves. The crushing action of the 328 cm (129") wide polyurethane rolls produce a windrow that promotes quick even dry down of crops like alfalfa and alfalfa grass mixes. The polyurethane is also very effective on fine stemmed plants with solid stems like native hay, timothy, and Bermuda grass.
Steel Inter-Meshing Rolls
Conditioner Action
- A crimp style is especially effective for stiff or solid plant stem material
- Produces well-formed windrows over a wide range of widths
Application
- For high volume crops where aggressive feeding through header is an advantage, such as milo, sudan grass, and oats
- In smooth stemmed crops like timothy, the steel bars provide positive crop flow from cutterbar to the windrow
- For alfalfa producers, the steel inter-meshing roll action assists plant dry down by creating uniform crimps on the plant stem, without bruising the delicate leaves
- Able to provide consistent conditioning through uneven crop volumes
- In areas where crops and or conditions are considered to be abrasive
- Extremely durable requires minimal maintenance
DWA - More Efficiency, Fewer Passes
