Up-Front Productivity

Get ready for high-quality output with minimal horsepower requirements. The R1 FR Series lays down well-formed, well-conditioned windrows with the industry's widest conditioning rollers, full-width baffle, and adjustable forming shields. Boost your productivity further by pairing the R1 FR with the R1 Pull-Type*; shared common parts between the two units make service and maintenance a breeze. Maximize your mowing potential and get more with the MacDon R1 Front Mount Rotary Disc.

*Using both Front Mount and Pull-Types together doubles your tractor horsepower requirements.

**Some products and/or options may not be available in all markets. See your MacDon Dealer for availability. Some of the images used may be of a different model with the same/similar feature.

FEATURES

Double Time!

Double your productivity by pairing the R1 FR with a MacDon R1 Pull-Type. This dynamic duo multiplies your capacity up to an impressive 32 feet (9.7 m) of cutting width*. Common parts between the two units mean service and maintenance are a breeze, making this combination a no-brainer for those seeking efficient, high-quality output.

Double Windrower Attachment: Adding a DWA to the R1 Pull-Type further increases productivity by reducing post-cutting passes. The R1 PT's DWA creates single-pass double windrows when paired with the R1 FR.

*Using both Front Mount and Pull-Types together doubles your tractor horsepower requirements. A 32-foot cutting width comes from pairing an R116 FR with an R116 PT.

High Output with Less Horsepower

Doing More with Less, the R1 FR only requires 100 horsepower for the 13-foot and 125 for the 16-foot models. Less horsepower means less fuel consumption.

Easy Hook-Up

The three-point hitch on MacDon's Front Mount Rotary Disc unit is compatible with category 2, 3, and 3N tractors. Cutting disc rpm is 2652 @ 1000 PTO; a PTO Completion Package is required and installed by your MacDon dealer.

PTO options include:

  • 1.375-inch (35mm) diameter 21-tooth PTO
  • 1.375-inch (35mm) diameter 6-tooth PTO
  • 1.75-inch (44.5mm) diameter 20-tooth PTO

Clean Cut with a 3-Year Cutterbar Warranty

MacDon's low-profile forward-mounted cutting discs provide a flat header angle, resulting in a clean, even cut. MacDon's 3-Year Cutterbar Warranty ensures worry-free harvesting performance.

Overload Protection

Each disc spindle on the R1 FR Series cutterbar features a shear pin designed to shear if it comes in contact with a large object in the field. Once sheared, the disc moves up and out of the way of the other discs, reducing the risk of severe damage to the cutterbar. Operators can replace shear in-field and get back to mowing in a short time.
