Introducing the MacDon FD261 FlexDraper®

You're Gonna Need a Bigger Shed!

Product Release Date: August 2024

FD261 FlexDraper® 


At 61 feet wide with 50-inch deep drapers, this is the highest capacity FlexDraper MacDon has ever produced. Compared to our 50-foot FD250, the FD261 gives you an additional 22% of overall capacity.

The FD261 FlexDraper® is a fully flexing 61-foot draper header. The FD261 provides your customers with 61 feet of true ground following flex, and our close reel-to-cutterbar relationship ensures efficient heads-first crop flow over the entire 61-foot span of the header.

A controlled traffic solution, the 61-foot gathering width is ideal for controlled traffic farming. For everyone else, it's a 61-foot gathering width!

FD261 FlexDraper®: The Biggest FlexDraper Ever!
