New Holland 345W, 355W, 365W Forage Head Windrow Pickup Header PDF Repair Service Manual (Publication No. 86584185)

High-quality silage starts long before the crop reaches the forage harvester. The New Holland 345W, 355W and 365W Windrow Pickup Headers are engineered to lift pre-cut forage cleanly from the field, maintain a continuous crop flow and deliver uniform feeding into compatible New Holland forage harvesters. Designed for commercial dairy farms, custom silage contractors and large forage operations, these pickup headers minimize leaf loss while handling heavy windrows under demanding harvesting conditions.

Constant exposure to dirt, stones, crop residue and vibration causes gradual wear to pickup tines, auger bearings, drive chains, gearboxes and suspension components. This OEM Factory Repair Service Manual (Publication No. 86584185) provides dealership-level repair procedures for inspection, adjustment, diagnostics and complete rebuilding of every major header assembly, helping restore smooth crop feeding and dependable harvesting performance.

Designed for Efficient Windrow Recovery

Unlike grain platforms or direct-cut headers, the 345W, 355W and 365W are purpose-built to recover previously mowed forage. A spring-loaded pickup reel gently lifts the windrow while the large-diameter cross auger delivers an even crop mat into the feeder housing. Floating suspension and adjustable pickup height allow the header to follow uneven terrain, reducing soil contamination and preserving forage quality throughout the harvesting season.
