More Flexibility!MacDon didn't set out to build just another flexing cutterbar draper, we took our legendary FlexDraper® platform and pushed ground-following performance to the next level. With over 2 inches of extra flex at the cutterbar, it hugs the ground tighter, reaching deeper into low spots and scooping up every last bit of available crop. Unlike other flex headers, the FD2 PLUS flexes without compromise, maintaining MacDon's close reel-to-cutterbar relationship for smooth, consistent feeding. The featherlight instant float response keeps the header moving effortlessly with the land, cutting closer, capturing more crop, and helping you GET MORE from every harvest. |
WHO'S THE FD2 PLUS FOR?The FD2 PLUS is built for extremes and customers who feel they need a flexing cutterbar for their conditions. It’s designed for producers who grow low-podding crops in highly uneven or hilly fields or those who need to navigate challenging terraces and waterways. In these tough conditions, the FD2 PLUS is MacDon’s flexiest solution yet. Its advanced flexing technology ensures even stubble height, prevents dirt buildup, and maintains optimal reel-to-cutterbar positioning so that every last bit of crop gets off the field and into the combine. |
