ASSEMBLING THE W INDROWER
3.21.4 Attach
ing an R-Series Header
Only a 13-foot R-Series Rotary Disc Header (R80 and R85) can be attached to an M155 Self-Propelled Windrower.
Certain 13- and 16-foot R-Series Rotary Disc Headers can be attached to an M205 Self-Propelled Windrower. The
M105 Self-Propelled Windrower can NOT operate an R-Series header. For attachment procedure, refer to the
section f or your spec ific w indrower model.
NOTE:
The 18.4 x 26 drive tire (MD #B5447) is recommended on the M155 and M205 Self-Propelled Windrower when
operated with a 13-foot R-Series Rotary Disc Header. These drive tires are reversible and should be mounted
inset at 3792 mm (149.3 in.) to provide maximum clearance to uncut crop. Mounting these tires outset or
mounting all other drive tire options will result in windrower tires slightly wider than the header width. This may
cause some uncut crop to be trampled by tires in turns and corners during windrower operation, and may leave
some uncut strips of crop in the windrower’s next pass.
M155 Self-
Propelled Windrower
The M155 Self-Propelled W indrower can operate 13-foot
R80 and R85 Rotary Disc Headers only. These headers
are shipp ed without the motor or hoses in stalled, so a
separate motor, hose bundle, and hydraulic valve kit is
required to operate the header.
If nece ssary, obtain the follow ing kits and insta ll them in
accordance with th e inst ructions supplied with the kits.
