  If the conditioner drive belt on your MacDon Farm Equipment is breaking frequently, several factors could be contributing. Ensure the belt tension is properly adjusted. Check that the belt is in the proper groove in the pulley. If there's a foreign object between the rolls, disengage the header and stop the engine to remove it.

What to do if header runs while unloaded but slows or stops when starting to cut on MacDon Farm Equipment?

  pdavisSep 12, 2025
  If the header on your MacDon Farm Equipment runs while unloaded but slows or stops when starting to cut, it may be due to a low hydraulic oil level in the windrower; add oil to the windrower reservoir. It could also be caused by a defective hydraulic motor, pump, or relief valve in the windrower, which would need to be repaired or replaced. Additionally, cold oil in the hydraulic drive system can cause this issue; reduce ground speed until the oil reaches operating temperature.
