Lifting a swath roller without getting out of the cab and without the use of a hand-cranked winch is an appealing option for producers.
Freeform Plastics in St. Brieux, Sask., has a pair of new hydraulically controlled swath rollers that are operated with a cab-mounted rocker switch. The units are designed to fit nearly all self-propelled swathers. A specific model, the MT2000H, was created for the MacDon M150 and M200 windrowers. The MT2000HU is built to fit nearly any other self-propelled machine.
The company supplies the units as a kit including the hoses, fittings and mounting hardware. The rollers are adjustable from six to 10 feet in width and are made of polyethylene.
