Was wondering on how the swather heads and disc bine head are working for the guys who have them we cut canola an barley silage with the draper head and sometimes wheat if it needs and alfalfa and grass hay mixes with disc bine currently run a Macdon sickle head and draper just the price to go to a new Macdon is a little more than it's worth so in on the hunt need to upgrade but not sure what to get yet Macdon is one of the m series

Not sure what trouble with let ricks and knive it just ate guards is?

The newest razor bar disc mower is second to none, and the WR series power units have been good machines. There were a few problems when they first came out but the uodates have made them run great.

Agco has just introduced a 5300 series draper head, it has dual sickle drive now. Don't know much about it as of now but it sound like it will be a good head.
