Disc and drum mowers and mower-conditioners – Direct-cut headers
The direct-cut unit uses MARANGON’s proven advanced-center-distance technology.
The powerful auger, with its 830 mm diameter, ensures high productivity.
The cutter bar is driven by a transmission gearbox, while the auger operates by chain. The freewheel allows the discs to slow down gradually when switched off.
Robust construction, attention to every detail, from design to painting, and strict quality control are guaranteed by the Marangon brand, present in fields all over the world for more than 60 years.
On request, the cutting unit can be equipped with additional side knives. They are installed on the left and right of the bar and are hydraulically driven. Thanks to their clean cut, even plants with tangled vegetation such as rye and hairy vetch or whole-crop silage can be cut without losses.
The cutting unit is equipped with a series of wear-resistant boron steel skids to provide maximum protection for the gear housing.
Greater shock dispersion thanks to the round profile of the disc, which preserves the mechanics of the entire cutting unit.

The technological heart of the MDR 6014 header lies in its exclusive direct-cut unit, which uses Marangon’s proven advanced-center-distance technology, designed and developed specifically for this type of heavy-duty application. Thanks to this refined mechanical architecture, the machine is able to mow and convey whole-plant silage in a single, smooth pass, optimizing operating times in the field. This cutting-edge system drastically reduces torsional stresses and the loads transmitted to the rotating components, ensuring unmatched operating smoothness, a significant reduction in energy consumption, and extraordinary longevity of all kinematic components.
The MDR 6014 header stands out for the exceptional precision of its cutter bar which, thanks to an advanced versatile design, guarantees a sharp, clean, and completely loss-free cut, ideal for harvesting whole-crop silage plants. The true driver of the workflow is the imposing large feed auger: with an impressive diameter of 830 mm, this component ensures high hourly productivity even in the most demanding conditions. Engineered with a simple and functional oscillating and reversible system, the auger dynamically adapts to the volume of forage, ensuring a consistently regular and continuous material flow with every type of crop. This technology allows even the densest, tallest, and most complex crops to be handled effortlessly and without any risk of clogging, optimizing profitability and the smoothness of every pass in the field.
The cutter bar is driven by a transmission gearbox, while the auger is driven by a chain. The cutter bar is equipped with a freewheel device that allows the discs to rotate without stopping abruptly when switched off. The auger is protected against overloads by a pawl limiter.
Designed to eliminate the risks caused by accidental impacts in the field, the “Safe Cut” protection system, fitted as standard, guarantees maximum operating safety and a drastic reduction in repair costs. In the event of a violent impact against foreign objects, the mechanism preserves the integrity of the bar by protecting the transmission components, which remain fully protected and free from wear. The system is reactivated simply and immediately through the quick replacement of the dedicated pins, an operation that requires minimal time and negligible costs. With “Safe Cut”, Marangon offers haymaking professionals a unique solution for comfort and reliability, turning potential structural damage into quick and economical routine maintenance.
Robust construction and meticulous attention to every single detail — from the earliest stages of three-dimensional design through to protective painting treatments — are the signature features of the Marangon brand. Every piece of equipment undergoes strict quality controls to meet the highest operating standards in the sector. This production philosophy, focused on excellence and maximum reliability, is guaranteed by a brand that has been successfully working in fields all over the world for more than 60 years, confirming its role as a strategic and reliable partner for agricultural and haymaking professionals.
On request, the header can be equipped with special additional side saws, specifically designed to optimize harvesting in the most demanding fields. Installed on the right and left sides of the machine, these devices are hydraulically driven to ensure constant, powerful, and independent cutting performance. Thanks to their clean and precise action on vertical vegetation, they allow flawless and completely loss-free separation and harvesting, even of lodged plants or dense and tangled biomass — such as rye and hairy vetch mixtures or whole-crop silage crops — ensuring a clear separation between the cutting pass and the crop still to be harvested.
The cutting unit is equipped as standard with a series of extremely high-strength wear-resistant boron steel skids, designed to provide the gear housing with total protection against impacts, abrasion, and any risk of damage on the ground. Special rounded reinforcements have been integrated between the various skids to shield the cutter bar at its most critical points. In addition, the exclusive stamped profiling on the underside of the structure effectively prevents the build-up of soil and crop residues: in this way, the mown crop flows smoothly and without interruption, reducing downtime and ensuring constant operating efficiency even on the most difficult or wet soils.
The exclusive round-profile design of the mowing disc drastically reduces the impact surface against any obstacles on the ground, ensuring greater shock dispersion and preserving the mechanical integrity of the entire cutting unit. This advanced geometry not only ensures high quality of the cut crop, but also significantly increases the service life of the 129 mm blades: thanks to their configuration, the blades do not work for the full rotation of the disc, but move into protection by partially retracting under the adjacent disc once mowing has been completed. This ingenious system prevents the risk of double processing or chopping of the forage, keeping the crop intact and clean. In addition, the optimized blade length guarantees perfect overlap between the discs and lower power absorption from the tractor, while also offering maximum practicality thanks to the full interchangeability of the discs once worn.

The operating efficiency of the MDR header is enhanced by cutting-edge engineering solutions dedicated to mechanical protection and the optimization of working times. To protect the investment against the risks caused by impact with foreign objects, the optional “SAFE CUT” safety system offers total protection of the transmission components: in the event of a violent impact, system activation eliminates internal wear and allows the safety pins to be replaced very quickly in the field with minimal costs, eliminating costly machine downtime.
Alongside this safety system is the Quick Blade Change system, which allows worn blades to be replaced in just a few moments thanks to a dedicated ergonomic key, maximizing daily productivity. The mowing disc, also prepared for later aftermarket installation, includes two special scrapers made of hardened wear-resistant material that ensure constant cleaning of the lower part of the disc itself, preventing residue build-up.
Harvest quality is further guaranteed by Clean Cut Technology, an exclusive geometric configuration that provides optimal overlap of the blade trajectories, ensuring a sharp, uniform cut with absolutely no residual strips left on the ground. Finally, extraordinary maintenance and service are simplified by the “First Aid Kit” main support: this component, consisting of a single monolithic block firmly fixed with six screws, allows individual, quick, and intuitive inspection of the gearbox, minimizing the complexity of technical interventions.
