Cereal harvesting header FD1 FlexDraper®

Most combine headers perform well in perfect harvest conditions, but when was the last time you had perfect conditions? MacDon FlexDraper® and Draper Headers are designed to maximize productivity in the toughest harvesting situations. Featuring MacDon Flex-Float Technology™, FD1 Series FlexDrapers continue to advance harvesting innovation. The flex advantage comes from a fixed reel-to-cutterbar relationship, which maintains a small gap between the reel fingers and cutterbar, while the Active Float System allows for instant lateral and vertical float response over rolling and uneven terrain. The result of our Flex-Float Technology is smooth, consistent, heads-first feeding that significantly boosts combine productivity. MacDon's Active Float System reacts instantly to changing ground conditions. This immediate float response means you can cut extremely close to the ground without pushing. Two sets of coil springs on the FM100 Float Module support up to 97% of the header weight. The instant float response provides 4.8 degrees of lateral float and 7” (178 mm) of vertical float independent of the combine feeder house. Best of all, this is a simple, mechanical system with only one sensor, so things won't break down when your harvest is on the line. MacDon’s Active Float System keeps our headers true-to-the-ground for a clean, even cut every time. Thanks to the FM100, MacDon Draper Headers are designed to fit all major brand combines with an easy-to-install completion package. This multi-brand compatibility and interchangeability mean your investment will hold its value until it's time to update your header.
