46R pickup picking up hay

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.
