Clean cutting
at fast speeds

• Full lateral header flotation allows the header to hug the ground for clean cutting while minimizing scalping and cutterbar damage.
• Full-width, chevron-design, intermeshing rubber rolls provide gentle and thorough conditioning for fast drydown.
• The torsion-bar roll-pressure system applies near-constant pressure for consistent conditioning, but releases pressure to allow slugs to pass through automatically without plugging.
• Swath to windrow—no tools needed, and the change takes only seconds.
• Roll pressure is adjusted quickly and easily with a turn of a crank—no tools needed. Adjustment is infinite so you can choose the exact degree of conditioning you need.
• Four-bat reel matches all crop conditions.
• Bolt-on, over-serrated knife sections provide long life and are easily replaced if broken.
• Variable reel speed and adjustable reel position let you adjust to difficult cutting conditions.
• Equal angle PTO eliminates noise and vibration and reduces maintenance.
• Lightweight header (1465 and 499 only) reacts quickly to changing ground contour and obstacles, resulting in less knife and guard damage.
