Fill It
Feed more crop through your windrower with the new 46R pickup. Maintain as many leaves as you can with a trash net that extends down to the rake tines. The 10% larger1 auger allows for a faster, more uniform feeding of the crop — regardless of your windrow size. Plus, when it comes to maintenance, the new 46R has a chainless drive, meaning no oiling or wear. Compatible with F8 Series and F9 Series SPFH models.
Bring it on
The 490Pro Header matches the capacity and capability of the F9 Series. This 12-row, large drum head has bring-it-on capacity. Add AutoTrac™ RowSense™, and you can sit back and get a full header width with each pass.
