Overview

More Flexibility!

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 featherlight instant float response keeps the header moving effortlessly with the land, cutting closer, capturing more crop, and helping you GET MORE from every harvest.

WHO'S THE FD2 PLUS FOR?

The FD2 PLUS is built for extremes and customers who feel they need a flexing cutterbar for their conditions.

It’s designed for producers who grow low-podding crops in highly uneven or hilly fields or those who need to navigate challenging terraces and waterways. In these tough conditions, the FD2 PLUS is MacDon’s flexiest solution yet.

Its advanced flexing technology ensures even stubble height, prevents dirt buildup, and maintains optimal reel-to-cutterbar positioning so that every last bit of crop gets off the field and into the combine.

Close Reel-to-Cutterbar Relationship with a Flexing Cutterbar

The FD2 PLUS features a full-length flex cutterbar for exceptional ground tracking while maintaining the majority of the reel-to-cutterbar relationship.

This close alignment is critical for capturing low-podding crops, allowing the reel fingers to lift and guide the cut crop onto the drapers.

In competitive flex cutterbars, excessive flexing may cut the crop, but a wide gap to the tips of the reel fingers could put it out of reach. MacDon’s tight reel-to-cutterbar relationship ensures that cut crop reaches the drapers and flows smoothly into the combine.

An Even Closer Shave of the Ground - Without Compromise

Just cutting the crop isn’t enough—if the crop is not in the combine, it’s not making you money. The challenge with flexible cutterbars is that too much flex can compromise the reel-to-cutterbar relationship, making it hard to capture low-podding crops.

Adding a little over 2 inches of extra flex at the cutterbar, the FD2 PLUS follows the ground even better in extreme conditions, reaching more crop without sacrificing reel-to-cutterbar positioning.*

The low-profile cutterbar and close reel positioning ensure the cut crop is lifted off the ground and smoothly transitioned onto the drapers and into the combine.

Serious Flex Range

A 50-foot FD2 FlexDraper features 17 inches of wing flex, plus an additional 24 inches of lateral tilt, providing a total flex range of up to 41 inches on either end, independent of the combine. The FD2 PLUS builds on this by adding a full-length flexing cutterbar.

With over 2 inches of extra flex at the cutterbar, the FD2 PLUS provides outstanding ground tracking performance, reacting instantly to irregular terrain capture every last bit of crop in the field.
