Swath Compressor
The MacDon Swath Compressor is a large, formed polyethylene sheet which is designed to mount to the underside of a
MacDon M1170
NT5
Windrower. The MacDon Swath Compressor is designed for use with D1XL and D1X Series Draper
Headers cutting canola.
When lowered, the swath compressor helps prevent wind damage by shaping the windrow and anchoring it into the
stubble behind the header. This reduces the occurrence of shelling in the windrow.
The swath compressor height can be adjusted and monitored with the Harvest Performance Tracker (HPT) display. Height
can be adjusted for crop ripeness, yield, and the amount of compression required. The swath compressor will automatically
lift up if the Operator stops or reverses the windrower.
Preferred height can be saved under a One-Touch-Return preset.
