2023 MacDon FD2 Series Flexdraper® 12.5 M (41')
Bigger. Faster. Flexier.More Capacity. More Speed. More Flex. The all-new FD2 gives you more of everything you need for harvesting performance from the company that brought you the Original FlexDraper®.
Features may include:
A Ground Following Dream.- MacDon's legendary ground-following ability continues with the FD2. MacDon's Active Float System gets coupled with up to 70%* more flex for a harvesting experience like never before.
- Flex-Float Technology® gets turned up with MacDon's optional ContourMax™ Contour Wheels. These wheels allow the header to follow the field's contours, leaving a consistent stubble height while cutting from 1 to 18 inches+ off the ground.
- MacDon's ClearCut™ High-Speed Cutting System delivers just that; clean cutting at up to 30% faster speeds*. Helping you get there is MacDon's improved knife drive with more power and new knife section geometry with 25% more cutting surface. A smooth close shave comes from two unique ClearCut Knife Guards; choose between Pointed Knife Guards or PlugFree™ Knife Guards that resist plugging even in the nastiest conditions.
- MacDon's ClearCut High-Speed Cutting System delivers just that; a clean cut at faster speeds. This high-speed system is delivered with two unique knife guards, more power from MacDon's improved knife drive and over 25% more cutting surface from an increased knife and guard geometry. Altogether, these improvements allow the FD2 FlexDraper® to provide a clean, even cut every time.
- The FD2's all-new frame features an ultra-deep deck with 50 inch deep drapers and is now available in 30 to 50 foot configurations. The FD2 delivers up to 20%* more capacity of smooth heads-first feeding in the tallest bushiest crops it can get its reel fingers on. No matter what type of combine you mount it to, the FeedMax™ Crop Feeding System optimizes performance. Along with active crop flow, patented reel movement, and new ShatterGuard reel positioning, the FD2 is ready for action+.
- We all know harvest time is go time, and with the FD2, you won't waste time messing around. The FD2 lets you get the job done without the struggle: easy set-up, easy operation, easy upgrades. From the quick set-up of the EasyMove™ Transport to seamless combine integration, the FD2 is always ready for action!
- The FD2 FlexDraper® is the evolution of the ground following innovation MacDon first brought to market almost 20 years ago. Like we did then, we listen to and work with you, the farmer, in the most challenging real-world conditions. What does that mean for you? More. More sizes, more durability, more harvesting innovations. So, in case you're not convinced yet, here are a few more reasons why the FD2 is the right investment for your operation!
