Description
When you’re running a windrower during hay season, every section needs to work perfectly to keep your cutting operation moving. A bent, cracked, or worn guard can cause uneven cutting, plugging, and downtime—not something you want when the weather window is narrow and every day counts. This forged steel guard gives you the strength and precision fit you need to keep your cutter bar working like new.
What You’re Getting
- Heat-treated forged steel construction that stands up to rocks, debris, and years of field use
- Two-point design provides excellent crop flow while protecting the blade edges
- Precise fit eliminates wobble and maintains proper blade clearance for clean cutting
- Direct replacement that installs with standard hardware—no modifications needed
- Comes in boxes of 25, so you can replace the whole section at once or keep spares on hand
Built for Real Farm Work
These guards are made specifically for Hesston 1030 and 1170 windrowers, machines known for their reliability in cutting alfalfa, grass hay, and small grains. Whether you’re working level ground or rolling terrain, these guards maintain proper crop flow while protecting your knife sections from damage when you hit the inevitable rock or root.
Made to Last
The forged steel construction and heat treatment mean these guards won’t bend or break like cast iron versions can. They’re built to handle the vibration, impact, and constant flexing that comes with cutting hundreds of acres. You’ll get seasons of reliable service without the frustration of frequent replacements.
Good to Know
Installation is straightforward—just remove the old guard and bolt on the new one using your existing hardware. When replacing guards, it’s smart to do a whole section at a time for even wear and cutting performance. Check your knife sections while you’ve got the guards off—worn knives can put extra stress on new guards.
