With a strong focus on agronomy, MacDon Corn Headers are designed for performance at every step. From their row guidance system to the unique snout design to the OctiRoll™ one-pass residue management system, MacDon Corn Headers help you get more from your corn harvest.

Seedbed preparation starts at harvest time. With a strong focus on agronomy, MacDon C and FC Series headers provide industry-leading residue management. MacDon's OctiRoll™ system creates well-conditioned, evenly chopped, and evenly distributed residue in a single pass - even in the toughest corn varieties. MacDon’s thorough and consistent processing results in faster decomposition to maximize the potential for next year's crop.

Improving on the traditional snapping roll model, MacDon Corn Headers feature MacDon's innovative OctiRoll™. The unique design of the OctiRoll™ incorporates four point-to-point knives and four serrated edges that alternate to cut and crimp the stalk every 3 inches. The OctiRoll™ cut/crimp action speeds up the microbial breakdown process, helping it decompose quicker than a typical corn header.

The four extra serrated blades on each OctiRoll™ help to pull stalks aggressively through while consistently chopping residue into 5 to 7.5 cm (2 to 3-inch) pieces at harvesting speeds up to 12 km/h (7.5 mph).

Mounted closer to the front and nearer to the underside of the rolls, MacDon’s chopper provides a consistently short residue size. The OctiRoll™ can run closer to the ground to harvest downed corn better and deliver the shortest stubble height possible.

You'll enjoy the direct positive drive from the specially designed high-capacity aluminum gearbox and slip clutch that powers each row unit. Chopper speeds range from 1880 to 3230 RPM, and the chopper gearboxes can be easily disconnected row by row as needed.

Engineered for efficiency and strength, MacDon's reinforced ribbed snout design reduces drag, ensuring a smooth material flow. This distinctive teardrop shape efficiently lifts downed crops, minimizes ear bounce, and skillfully navigates curved rows.

Improving feeding, efficiency, and productivity while reducing operator fatigue, the MacDon Row Guidance System is a great performance option for your MacDon rigid, folding, and flexing corn headers. These two factory-installed and configured metal sensor rods keep you on track all harvest long.

A lightweight yet robust frame and row-unit structure contribute to reducing the overall weight of the header. This reduced frame weight, combined with the high-performance OctiRoll™, aluminum gearboxes, and precision choppers, all work together to reduce your overall fuel consumption.
