Corn head FD2 PLUS FlexDraper®

flexwith gauge wheelswith hydraulic adjustment

Overview
MacDon FD2 PLUS builds on the FD2 FlexDraper® platform by adding a full‑length flexing cutterbar and approximately 2 in (52 mm) extra cutterbar flex. The result is improved ground hugging and deeper pick‑up in low spots while preserving a close reel‑to‑cutterbar relationship for consistent, heads‑first feeding.

Key benefits

• Improved ground following to capture more crop in irregular fields.
• Close reel‑to‑cutterbar relationship with full‑length flexing cutterbar.
• High‑capacity multi‑crop feeding using 50" (127 cm) deep drapers.
• Ability to run wider headers in extremely irregular terrain due to enhanced flex and tracking.

Performance features

• ClearCut™ High‑Speed Cutting System — larger output shaft, flywheel and direct hydraulic drive for clean high‑speed cutting.
• ClearCut™ Knife Guards — Pointed Guards for glide and PlugFree™ Short Guards for reduced plugging.
• Aggressive FeedMax™ feeding — configurable auger flighting and speed control to match combine feederhouse.
• Robust reel design — cam‑led finger control, adjustable from the cab; double or triple reel options; wear‑resistant reel fingers.

Operation & versatility

• Simple lockouts convert the unit from full flex to rigid by flipping levers and locking leaf springs.
• Dealer‑installed combine integration kits for multi‑brand compatibility and optimized in‑cab controls.
• Available in multiple widths and configurations to suit crop type and field conditions.

Performance options & accessories

• ContourMax™ contour wheels — replicate field contours and set stubble heights between ~1" and 18" (25.4–457 mm).
• EasyMove™ Transport System — integrated transport wheels for safe field‑to‑field moves (follow local speed regulations).
• Upper cross auger — full or partial auger to move heavy/bushy crops to centre for smoother feeding.
• VertiBlade™ vertical knives — reduce seed shatter and improve dividing at ends.
• Stabilizer wheels, lateral tilt kit and FM200 float module for tuning header performance.
• Additional dealer‑fit accessories to match local harvesting requirements.
