INTRODUCTION
The double windrow attachment (DWA) allows the combining of two windrows of conditioned material
close together to be picked up by a forage chopper. This unit may be mounted on the following MacDon-
built windrower tractors: M150 & M200. The system is for use with Model A30, A40, R80 and D60
headers with HC10 hay conditioners. The conditioned crop is deposited onto the side delivery system
draper and delivered to the side of the tractor when required. Raising the side delivery system shuts off
the draper and allows the crop to be deposited between the tractor wheels as it would be without the side
delivery system.

or D60 header and use inner pivot if used
with an R80 header.
27. Adjust turnbuckle (Q) length so the deck is
approximately 100 mm or 4” from the right
hand drive tire. The turnbuckle length
should be about 530 mm long for the R80
header and 630 mm long for the A30/40 or
D60 header. Note: The lift cylinder is single
acting and it is pressurized with the draper
drive circuit. Therefore when the deck is
setup for the R80 the tractor needs to be
running for the deck to be in its most forward
position. This adjustment can be fine-tuned
when the hydraulics setup is complete.

CAUTION: To avoid bodily injury:
1. Review the safety sections of your
tractor and header Operator’s Manuals.
2. Keep all shields in place.
3. Engage safety pin (A) when deck is
raised fully for transport, service and
storage or before going under deck for
any reason. To engage safety pin, raise
deck, rotate pin and push in until both
roll pins (B) are inside channel.
4. Keep away from moving draper and
rollers.
5. Keep clear of the deck while it is being
raised or lowered.
To raise and lower deck:
NOTE: Extra caution should be taken when
raising the deck for the first time. The deck
rotates as it raises and lowers and the
backsheet folds on to the deck. Make sure the
deck and backsheet are not interfering with any
tractor parts or the forming shield.
In the setup instructions, if you chose to swap
the DWA controls, use the reel fore/aft switch to
raise and lower the deck. The deck moves
forward when lowering, so switch operation will
be the same as when moving the reel forward.
The deck moves rearward when raising so
switch operation will be the same as when
moving the reel rearward.
In the setup instructions, if you chose “NO” to
swap the DWA controls, use the rocker switch
installed in the console. Press the rocker switch
forward portion to lower the DWA and press the
rocker switch rearward portion to raise the DWA.
NOTE: Draper shuts off automatically when
deck is raised about two thirds of the way up. If
deck does not shut off soon enough, resulting in
backsheet touching draper before it shuts off,
the switch at the linkage needs to be lowered.
Lower switch by loosening two screws (C). Do
not over tighten the screws or the switch will not
work.
Side delivery draper speed:
To set the draper speed, turn the draper speed
control.

To adjust deck angle:
The deck angle relative to the right hand drive
tire is adjustable with turnbuckle (Q). A distance
of 100 mm (4”) from the deck to the tire is
recommended. To adjust the turnbuckle, loosen
the locking tab and rotate center tube to desired
length then re-lock tab against tube.
NOTE: If setup with an R80 header, the deck
will only be in its most forward position when the
tractor is running. The lift cylinder is single
acting so it is not pressurized in the down stroke
when the tractor is shut off. When the tractor is
running there is a supply of low pressure oil to
move the deck forward.
The deck angle relative to the ground should be
horizontal or at a slight incline. Distance (C)
should be equal to or greater than (D). If used
with an R80 header in lighter crop, distance (C)
should be equal to (D). If the crop needs to be
thrown farther, increase distance (C).
To adjust the deck angle loosen four ¾” bolts (E)
and then loosen nut (F). Adjust draw bolt by
tightening the second nut (F) if you want to
increase distance (C) and loosen nut if you want
to decrease distance (C). Once done adjusting,
tighten nut (F) and then tighten four bolts (E).
The four ¾” bolts must be torqued to 245 ft-lbs.

To adjust deck height:
The deck should never touch the ground or
excessive wear could occur to some deck
components. If the deck is too low to the ground,
raise it as follows:
Lower linkage by fully extending
cylinder.
Move bottom pivot pin to lower position
(R).
This will raise the front of the deck
approximately 100 mm (4 inches).
Draper tracking:
Draper tracking needs to be checked when the
draper is first run-up otherwise damage to the
draper can occur. See Draper Adjustment in the
Maintenance/Service section on how to adjust
the tracking.

Conditioner Forming Shield Position:
Make sure forming shield is high enough to clear
the deck when it is lowered (G). Adjust the
forming shield height by removing hair pin (J)
and moving strap (K) to desired position. The
forming shield should be as low as possible
without interfering with deck.
The left hand side deflector (L) should be in the
widest position to not affect crop flow. If center
delivering, the left hand deflector can be moved
in to make a narrower windrow. The right hand
side deflector should be in the widest position to
not affect the crop flow because this is where
the deck is the furthest from the conditioner rolls.
Adjust rear deflector baffle (H) so the crop flow
does not interfere with the deck when it is fully
raised.
Fins (M) underneath the forming shield can
affect the crop flow. It is recommended to
remove fins, especially with an R80 in light crop.
Conditioner Rolls Position:
The gap between the conditioner rolls needs to
be small enough to properly throw the crop on to
the double windrow attachment. The gap is
dependant on crop type and yield. If the gap is
too little for heavy crops, this consumes
excessive engine power and is hard on all the
components affected. If the gap is too large, the
crop will not have enough velocity to reach the
side delivery deck. See conditioner operator’s
manual for adjustment procedure.
