Introduction
This manual contains
information on the MacDon M155 Self-Propelled Windrower which, when paired with one of
MacDon’s A Series Auger Headers, certain D and D1 Series Draper Headers, or R and R1 Series Rotary Disc Headers, ably
cuts and lays in windrows a variety of grain, hay, and specialty crops.
The M155 Self-Propelled Windrower is equipped with Dual Direction
®
capability, which allows the windrower to be driven
either in cab-forward or in engine-forward mode. Right and left designations are therefore determined by the operator’s
position. For the sake of clarity, this manual uses the terms right cab-forward, left cab-forward, right engine-forward, and
left engine-forward when referring to specific locations on the machine.
Use this manual as your first source of information about the machine. Use the Table of Contents and the Index to guide
you to specific content areas. Study the Table of Contents to familiarize yourself with how this material is organized.
When setting up the machine or making adjustments to it, review and follow the recommended machine settings in all
relevant MacDon publications. Failure to do so may compromise the windrower’s functionality and reduce its service life,
and may result in a hazardous situation.
If you follow the instructions given here, your M155 Self-Propelled Windrower will work well for many years.
Use this manual in conjunction with your header operator's manual.
A manual storage case is provided in the cab. Keep this manual handy for frequent reference. Ensure that this manual is
made available to any Owners or Operators of this machine. Call your Dealer if you need assistance, information, or
