  Angie WilsonAug 15, 2025
  To address ragged or uneven cutting of crop with your MacDon Farm Equipment, start by adjusting the knife hold-downs. If the issue persists, replace any worn or broken cutting parts, check the windrower's engine speed, and consider reducing ground speed or increasing reel speed. Adjusting the reel position and finger pitch can also help. Other solutions include lowering the cutting height, steepening the header angle, straightening any bent knives, aligning the guards, and installing stub guards.
