D Series Draper Headers
Do it all, do it better, do it sooner.
A significant leap forward in draper header technology, MacDon D Series Drapers offer improved capacity and provide the operator with unparalleled productivity. Better still, D Series Drapers are true multi-crop harvesting solutions letting you cut just about any crop without having to swap headers. Not only are they perfect for harvesting cereals, oil seeds, grass seeds and edible beans, they will also outperform most auger headers in hay and forage applications. If you are looking for the ultimate combination of swath formation and productivity, you can’t do better than MacDon’s D Series Draper Headers for your operation.
FEATURES • Extra large 76.7" (1948 mm) windrow opening coupled with a step back design on the rear header panel allows for more volume of tall bushy crops resulting in improved crop flow and windrow formation • PR15 pick-up reel which features MacDon’s flip-over finger action and cam-leading finger control • Hydraulic knife drive for maximum power transfer and increased ground speed in most conditions • Mechanical and hydraulic deck shift (center or end delivery on D60, center only on D50)

Product Features
ADVANCED DRAPER TECHNOLOGY
MacDon’s draper system features larger capacity motors and heavy duty double row sealed roller bearings for increased power and reduced maintenance. MacDon’s puncture and tear resistant V-guide drapers are designed for positive tracking. On the D60 model, the double V-guide draper can be reversed if the leading edge becomes damaged or worn, effectively doubling draper life. Combined with MacDon’s draper protecting patented C-shaped cutterbar, these features make them MacDon’s most durable and reliable drapers ever.
CONSISTENTLY CLOSE SHAVE
MacDon’s unique patented C-shaped cutterbar, which permits cutting at ground level for the most consistently clean shave of your fields. This close cutting ability combined with the reel’s ability to maintain a consistent relationship with the sickle (allowing it to gently lift the crop like a comb) means improved recovery in crop that is downed, lodged or tangled.
BOOST YOUR PRODUCTIVITY INSTANTLY WITH D SERIES DRAPER HEADERS
Designed to be excellent all-purpose headers for cereals, canola, hay, forage and specialty crops, MacDon’s D Series Drapers allow you to cut at significantly higher speeds and achieve greater capacity, while still delivering exceptionally uniform and fluffy windrows. This is possible thanks to their extra-wide 76.7" (1948 mm) swath opening, increased draper depth, better angling on the back sheet and the higher crop clearance of the M Series Windrower. D Series Drapers are available in two models the center delivery single knife D50, which comes with a 5 bat PR15 pick up reel and is perfect for most harvesting situations, and the super robust full-featured D60 which is designed for high volume commercial operations. Both models feature MacDon’s patented C-shaped cutterbar. Long-life double V-guide drapers are standard on the D60.
MACDON’S D60 – THE ULTIMATE IN DRAPER HARVESTING PERFORMANCE
Available in single and double knife versions, MacDon’s full-featured D60 model is designed for high acreage operations and is outfitted with heavier duty drapers, shiftable decks on certain configurations (that allow center or side delivery) and the ability to attach MacDon’s HC10 Hay Conditioner (available for double knife drives up to 30'/9.1 m). For hay and forage harvesting, MacDon’s optional double windrow attachment (available for double knife version headers only) allows you to lay up to 50' (15.2 m) of conditioned crop in a windrow, ideal for today’s larger forage harvesters. The D60 is configured with either a 5 or 6 bat PR15 pick-up reel, both of which have been specially engineered to maintain a consistently close cutterbar to reel relationship over the entire length of the header as well as provide more effective lift and sweep of material from the cutterbar. As such, you’ll experience better cutting performance, especially in tough harvesting conditions such as downed or tangled crops. For more control, the D60 comes standard with hydraulic fore-aft reel positioner and can be outfitted with performance options such as hydraulic header tilt for the ultimate harvesting package.
EXCELLENT FOR HAY AND FORAGE
With the addition of MacDon’s HC10 Hay Conditioner, D60 headers become high performance hay and forage harvesting machines. If you’re cutting for one of today’s large forage harvesters, MacDon’s optional double windrow attachment (available for double knife units) lets you lay up to 50' (15.2 m) of conditioned crop in a single windrow.

Options
STABILIZER WHEELS
Spring loaded wheels help cushion the ends of draper headers when moving over field obstacles. This kit can be used on 30’ (9.1m) and larger headers)
DOUBLE WINDROW ATTACHMENT (D Series)
MacDon’s double windrow attachment feature lets you lay up to 48' (14.6 m) of crop in a single windrow. This is ideal for today s large forage harvesters, and can translate into significant time and fuel savings for producers who employ this feature. When mounting to D60 Double Knife headers HC10 Conditioner is required.

UPPER CROSS AUGER
Attached in front of the back tube, the upper cross auger improves feeding of crop to the center in heavy crop conditions. Ideal for high volume harvesting of forages, oats, canola, mustard and other tall, hard to feed crops.
TRANSPORT PACKAGE
Cushions and guides the ends of the header on larger draper headers while in Stabilizer Wheel position, plus enables transportation at slower road speeds of 30 (9.1 m) and larger headers. This kit can be used on 30’ (9.1m) and larger headers)
HYDRAULIC FORE-AFT REEL POSITIONER
Adjust the reel position to changing crop and field conditions on-the-go from the cab.
POLY SKIDS
For muddy harvesting conditions, or crops like soybeans, rice, lentils and edible beans poly skids permit smoother traveling of the cutterbar over the ground, and reduces the likelihood of mud building up on the cutterbar.
SKID SHOES
Improves the placement of the cutterbar in relation to the ground, thereby reducing wear on the cutterbar and enhancing the in field performance of the header.
STUB GUARDS
Stub guards mount directly to the cutterbar to improve cutting performance in tough, stringy grass type crops, and crops that need to be cut close to the ground (such as rice and edible beans).
HAY CONDITIONER
MacDon s HC10 Hay Conditioner, available for double knife drives up to 30 (9.1 m), turns a D60 header into a high performance hay and forage harvester.
