Introducing the FD2 PLUS FlexDraper®
MacDon didn't set out to build just another flexing cutterbar draper, we took our legendary FlexDraper® platform and pushed ground-following performance to the next level. With over 2 inches of extra flex at the cutterbar, it hugs the ground tighter, reaching deeper into low spots and scooping up every last bit of available crop. Unlike other flex headers, the FD2 PLUS flexes without compromise, maintaining MacDon's close reel-to-cutterbar relationship for smooth, consistent feeding. The ultra-light instant float response keeps the header moving effortlessly with the land, cutting closer, capturing more crop, and helping customers GET MORE from every harvest.
