  When in the transport position, the MD73, MD83 and MD93 become compact packages with ride stability and plenty of ground clearance.

  • ​The cutterbar transport lock automatically engages for a secure hold
  • The cutterbar is spring-balanced from end to end: allows the mower to glide over uneven terrain smoothly and can be adjusted for all conditions.
  • The V-belt tension spring has an easily visible indicator for quick inspection of belt tension: changing belt tension is convenient with single-point adjustment and no shields to remove.
