1 INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information on the Model M105 Self-Propelled Windrower that is designed to cut and lay in
windrows, a wide variety of grain, hay and specialty crops. Windrowing allows starting the harvest earlier,
protects the crop from wind damage, and gives you more flexibility in scheduling combine time.
The power unit (referred to in this manual as the “windrower”), when coupled with one of the specially designed
auger or draper headers, provides a package that incorporates many features and improvements in design.
This manual must be used in conjunction with your Header Operator's Manual.
