1 INTRODUCTION
This instructional manual contains information on the MacDon Model M150 and M200 Self-Propelled Windrowers that
are 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 fle x ibility in scheduling combine time.
The power unit (referred to in this manual as the “Windrower”), when coupled with one of the specially designed
auger, rotary, or draper headers, provides a package which incorporates many features and improvements in design.
This manual must be used in conjunction with your Header Operator's Manual.
CAREFULLY READ ALL THE MATERIAL PROVIDED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO UNLOAD, ASSEMBLE, OR USE
THE MACHINE.
Use this manual as your first source of information about the machine. If you follow the instructions given in this
manual, your M150 and M200 Windrower will work well for many years. If you require more detailed service
information, check with your MacDon Dealer.
Use the Table of Contents and the Index to guide you to specific areas. Study the Table of Contents to familiarize
yourself with how the material is organized.
Keep this manual handy for frequent reference, and to pass on to new operators or owners. Call your MacDon Dealer
if you need assistance, information, or additional copies of this manual. A manual storage case is provided in the cab.
NOTE: The M150 and M200 Windrowers are du al direction, m eaning that the Wi ndrowe r can be driven in the cabforward or the engine-forward modes. Right-Hand and Left-Hand designations are therefore determined by the
Operator’s position, facing the direction of travel. This manual uses the terms right cab-forward, left cab-forward, right
engine-forward, and left engine-forward when referencing specific locations on the machine.

PROGRAMMING
The monitoring system requires programming for
each header, and the header must be attached to the windrower so that the CDM recognizes the
type of header.
Programming the system may be accomplished
with or without the engine running. If the engine is
running, the transmission must be in neutral. If
the engine is not running, the ignition must be on.
Exit programming mode at any time by pressing
the PROGRAM switch, or by turning off the
ignition.
The system only needs to be programmed once
for each header. The operator may make
changes later on to a particular setting to suit
windrowing conditions or modifications to the
machine. Refer to Section 5.18.6 Setting Guidelines for recommended settings. Most
functions have been pre-programmed at the
factory, but can be changed by the operator if
required.
Proceed as follows to program the CDM:
IMPORTANT
Header must be attached to the windrower
so that the CDM can detect the type of
Header (Header ID), and adjust the
programming mode accordingly. See
Sections 6.5, 6.6, and 6.7.
a. Turn ignition key to RUN, or
Refer to Section 6.3.5 Engine Operation.
b. Press PROGRAM and SELECT on CDM to enter
programming mode. Header ID code is displayed.

(continued next page)
Form 169017 / 169087 / 169095 56 Revision C
WINDROWER OPERATION
WARNING
If starter engages with steering wheel
unlocked, ground speed lever out of neutral,
or header clutch engaged, DO NOT START
ENGINE. See your windrower dealer.
6.3.5.2 Engine Warm-Up
Allow engine to run with
throttle lever (D) at or
near low idle position
until temperature gauge
reaches approximately
100°F (40°C).
6.3.5.3 Engine Intermediate Speed Control
(ISC)
The engine operating speed can be programmed
to enable the windrower to operate at reduced
engine rpm without significantly affecting the
ground or header speeds. See table below. This
is useful in where operating loads are reduced
such as in light crop conditions which do not
require the maximum engine rpm. Reduced
engine speed lowers fuel consumption, noise
levels, and exhaust emissions in addition to
reducing engine wear.
6.3.5.5 Fueling
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death from
explosion or fire, do not smoke or allow flame
or sparks near fuel tank when refuelling.
Never refuel the windrower when the engine
is hot or running.
a. Stop the windrower, and remove key.
b. Stand on either platform to access the fuel tank
filler pipe.

6.3.6 DRIVING THE WINDROWER
WARNING
Before starting engine, securely fasten your
seat belt and ensure trainer’s seat belt is
fastened if occupied. The seat belt can help
ensure your safety if it is used and
maintained.
WARNING
•Avoid driving the machine with header
removed. Removing header decreases the
weight on drive wheels, reducing steering
control.
CAUTION
With the engine running, moving the ground
speed lever out of N-DETENT unlocks
steering. Any movement of steering wheel
will then cause the machine to move, even if
the ground speed lever has not been moved
forward or rearward from the neutral position.
•Hydrostatic steering is more sensitive than
mechanical steering.
•Steering is opposite to normal when
driving in reverse.
•The brakes are only on when the GSL is in
N-DETENT and the steering wheel is
centered and locked.
DANGER
•Never move ground speed lever or
steering wheel until you are sure all
bystanders have cleared the area.
•If necessary to drive machine with header
removed, use transmission "field speed"
range, do not exceed 1500 rpm engine
speed and avoid loose gravel and slopes.
•Never use windrower as a towing vehicle
when header is removed, except as
instructed in Section 6.3.8.2 Towing
Header with Windrower. There is
insufficient weight on the drive wheels to
provide steering control.
•Because of windrower shape
characteristics, a roll-over protected
(ROPS) cab is not required. If operating
with header removed, be aware that the
cab structure will not withstand a roll-over.
CAUTION
HYDROSTATIC STEERING
The machine is steered hydrostatically, that
is, turning the steering wheel varies the
hydraulic flow to one drive wheel relative to
the other drive wheel. The reaction of this
type of steering is different than conventional
steering mechanisms.
•Be sure area is clear before making turns,
ends of header travel in a large arc.
•Check the operation of all controls in a
safe, clear area before starting work. Be
sure you know the capacity and operating
characteristics of this machine.
• Do not allow riders in or on the machine.
• Operate only while seated in the
Operator’s position.
•Never attempt to get on or off a moving
windrower.
•Avoid sudden starts and stops.

Operator’s console.
NOTE
When exiting the cab, the two rear upper
work lights on the cab roof will turn on for 1
minute after the ignition is turned off.
• Disengage header drives.
• Stop engine and remove key from ignition.
A child or even a pet could engage an
idling machine.
• Turn off wipers.
• Turn off lights unless required for
inspection purposes.

WINDROWER OPERATION
6.3.7 ADJUSTABLE CASTER TREAD
WIDTH
The rear casters can be adjusted to a narrow
tread width to allow loading and shipping without
having to remove them.
A narrow tread width also suits smaller headers by
allowing more space to the uncut crop and
provides more maneuverability around poles,
irrigation inlets, or other obstacles.
A wider tread width is useful in heavy crops that
produce large windrows so that runover is
reduced.
To adjust the caster tread width, refer to the
following illustrations, and proceed as follows:

WINDROWER OPERATION
6.3.8.3 Towing the Windrower
In emergency situations, for example, towing out
of a field or into a shop, windrower may be towed
without a trailer, providing the following
precautions are followed:
WARNING
A proper towing apparatus is critical to safe
towing. Use the following guidelines:
•Do not attach directly from hitch to walking
beam. Slope of tow bar will not provide
proper transfer of braking force to
windrower, causing loss of control.
WARNING
•With final drives disengaged, the
windrower may roll on a sloped surface.
•Before disengaging final drives, attach
windrower to towing vehicle.
•After towing, engage drives and ensure
GSL is in N-DETENT before detaching from
towing vehicle.
IMPORTANT
Failure to disengage final drives before
towing will result in serious transmission
damage.
IMPORTANT
Do not exceed 16 mph (26 km/h) when
towing windrower. Do not use this towing
method for normal transporting of
windrower.
IMPORTANT
Even with final drives disengaged, rolling
speeds of more than 16 mph (26 km/h) will
cause final drive gears to run at excessive
speeds, possibly destroying the unit.
•For proper steering, towing apparatus
should be attached to both left and right
hand frame members, and should attach to
tow bar at same height as towing vehicle
hitch.
•Towing apparatus should be removed for
field operation, to avoid interference with
windrow.

2. Remove cap (B), and flip over so that dished
side faces in. The cap depresses a pin which
disengages the gearbox.
3. After towing, reverse cover (A) to re-engage
final drives. Be sure plunger at center of wheel
pops out to engage drive.
6.3.9 STORAGE
At the end of each operating season:
a. Clean the windrower thoroughly.
WARNING
Never use gasoline, naphtha or any volatile
material for cleaning purposes. These
materials are toxic and/can be flammable.
b. Store windrower in a dry protected place.
CAUTION
Never operate engine in a closed building.
Proper ventilation is required to avoid
exhaust gas hazards.
c. Remove the battery. Refer to Section 7.11.1.6
Replacing Battery.
d. Bring to full charge, and store in a cool, dry place
that is not subject to freezing.
CAUTION
Remember when working around storage
batteries that all of the exposed metal parts
are "live". Never lay a metal object across the
terminals because a spark and short circuit
will result.
e. If stored outside, always cover windrower with a
waterproof tarpaulin or other protective material.
This will protect the switches, instruments, tires,
etc. from inclement weather.
f. If no cover is available; seal air cleaner intake and
exhaust pipe with plastic bags and/or waterproof
tape.
g. If possible, block up windrower to take weight off
tires. If it is not possible to block up the machine,
increase tire pressure by 25% for storage. Adjust
to recommended operating pressure before next
use.
h. Repaint all worn or chipped painted surfaces to
prevent rust.
i. Lubricate the windrower thoroughly, leaving
excess grease on fittings to keep moisture out of
bearings. Apply grease to exposed threads and
sliding surfaces of components.
j. Check for worn components and repair. Tighten
loose hardware, and replace any missing
hardware. See Section 7.3 MAINTENANCE
SPECIFICATIONS for torque charts.
k. Check for broken components, and order
replacements from your Dealer. Attention to t hese
items right away will save time and effort at
beginning of next season.
l. Add approved rust inhibitor to the engine oil in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Run engine to operating temperature to mix
inhibitor with oil, unless otherwise specified.
m. To prevent condensation, fill hydraulic oil reservoir
to filler neck with approved hydraulic system oil.
Refer to Section 7.12.1 Oil Level.
n. Test engine coolant antifreeze concentration to
ensure it is sufficient to protect engine against
lowest expected temperature.

6.4.2 HEADER FLOTATION
Float is intended for cutting crops that require the
cutterbar to be in contact with the ground.
Optimum float is for the cutterbar to maintain
contact with the ground with minimum bouncing
and scooping or pushing soil.
The machine will perform best with minimum extra
weight on the header.
IMPORTANT
To avoid frequent breakage of sickle
components, scooping soil, or soil build-up
at cutterbar in wet conditions, header float
should be set as light as possible without
causing excessive bouncing.
When float setting is light, it may be
necessary to use a slower ground speed to
avoid excessive bouncing and leaving a
ragged cut.
IMPORTANT
The stabilizer wheels are designed to
minimiz
not “float” the header. Refer to the D50 and
D60 Harvest Headers for Self-Propelled
Windrowers Operator’s Manual (Form

6.4.5 HEADER ANGLE
Header angle is defined as the angle between the
ground and the drapers/cutterbar, and is
adjustable to accommodate crop conditions and/or
soil type.
Refer to the appropriate Header Operator’s
manual for range of adjustment and
recommended settings for your particular header.
The header angle can be hydraulically adjusted
from the cab without shutting down the windrower
(M200 standard equipment; M150 optional
equipment).
A readout on the CDM allows the operator to
establish settings for each crop condition.
IMPORTANT
Changing header angle will affect flotation
slightly because it has the effect of making
the header lighter or heavier.
IMPORTANT
To prevent excessive guard breakage when
conditions are not suited to heavier float
(e.g. rocky or wet), do not use the tilt control
“on the go”. Instead, use the header height
switch.

chopper. This unit may be mounted on the
MacDon M150 and M200 Windrowers.
The system is for use with the A Series auger
header, R Series Rotary Disc Header, and D60
Draper Header with HC10 hay conditioner.
The conditioned crop is deposited onto the side
delivery system draper, and delivered to the side
of the windrower when required.
Raising the side delivery system shuts off the
draper, and allows the crop to be deposited
between the windrower wheels as it would be
without the side delivery system.
Refer to MacDon M Series Windrower Double
Windrow Attachment Manual (Form #169216) for
complete operating and maintenance instructions.
The manual is shipped with the DWA Kit.

6.5.6 REEL SPEED
The speed of the reel is controlled with switches
on the CDM in the cab. On D Series draper
headers, it can be set relative to the ground speed
of the windrower using the Header Index feature,
or can run independently. Refer to the Operator’s
Manual for your specific Header for windrowing
guidelines and recommended speeds.
6.5.6.1 Reel to Ground Speed
Setting the speed of the reel relative to ground
speed using the Header Index function allows the
operator to run the engine at lower rpm while
maintaining the desired ground and reel speed.
This mode requires:
a. setting the Minimum Reel Speed, and
b. setting the Reel Index.
NOTE
Reducing engine speed saves fuel and
reduces noise in the cab. Ground/cutting
speed can be maintained using this feature.
a. Set Reel Minimum Speed as follows
IMPORTANT
Windrower can be moving but must be less
than minimum reel speed.
The switches also control adjustments to the
optional Double Windrow Attachment (DWA)
conveyor, and can be activated during
programming the CDM.
