  1. Headers
    I have a 2012 Macdon swather with a D60D header and I cant get the sickle knife to engage. The electrical is good, I have checked all solenoids and needle valves. Has anyone ever had this problem? How do I check the Pump to see if its working? Is there Something else to check for?
  2. Headers
    Just wondering what the difference between the 2 headers are other then age. We used our neighbors swather with a 30ft D60 to death some canola vs our 5200. Didn’t impress and make a giant difference but did a bit. Is the d65 any or a lot better. Or should we be looking to see if we can hire...

    We have a 30 foot 972 header on our 2188. We were having problems with it not floating well in peas. Decided to adjust the float springs on the adapter higher so it would contour better on the ground. Got 3 adjusted and what a difference! But now I can't get the third spring bolt to turn. It...

    We have an older D 60 macdon header. 1st we noticed the 2 side canvasses were running slow. Tried to turn the speed knob but it made no difference. We noticed we were a little low on oil so we added oil. Tried it again and it was still slow and as we tried adjusting the speed they stopped as...
