MacDon Rock Dam for 972 and 974 Headers

The MacDon 972 and 974 headers remain widely used across Prairie grain operations. They are proven, capable headers that have put in years of reliable service, and for operators still running them, protecting the combine behind them from rock damage is just as important as it ever was. The MacDon Rock Dam for 972 and 974 Headers is built to do exactly that.

Manufactured by Trueline MFG and available through Leedale Colony on Hutterite Marketplace, this rock guard is engineered specifically for the older MacDon 972 and 974 header configurations, which have a different mounting profile from current MacDon header models. It mounts directly to your header using a bolt-on process with no drilling required, integrates cleanly with the 972 and 974 platform, and is designed to intercept rocks and field debris before they reach your feeder house without disrupting crop flow or slowing your harvest day.

At $400 CAD, this is one of the most accessible units in the Trueline MFG Rock Dam lineup, reflecting its position as a straightforward, reliable solution for an established header platform. Operators who have run their 972 or 974 header through rocky Prairie fields for years know what a single rock through the feeder house costs in downtime and repairs. This guard is the practical, permanent fix.

Understanding Your Order:

The MacDon Rock Dam for 972 and 974 Headers is sold as a single unit, per header, and is designed specifically for the older MacDon 972 and 974 header models. This product is not compatible with current MacDon header platforms. Operators running newer MacDon headers should refer to the standard MacDon Rock Dam or MacDon Rock Dam Pro listings.
