Manitoba, Canada - MacDon Industries Ltd., an agricultural harvesting equipment manufacturer, has taken its FlexDraper technology to the next level with the launch of the FD2 Plus, an enhanced version of its FD2 platform. Designed to deliver improved ground-following performance and greater crop recovery, the FD2 Plus is built to excel in challenging terrain and low-podding crop conditions.
At the heart of the FD2 Plus is an extended flex range, with over 2 inches of additional cutterbar flex, allowing it to closely follow ground contours, reach into deeper low spots, and gather more crop. This advanced flexibility makes it ideal for uneven fields, terraces, hillsides, and crops that grow close to the soil.
MacDon’s tight reel-to-cutterbar relationship remains a standout feature, enabling smooth feeding and ensuring that cut crops are lifted and guided efficiently onto the 50-inch deep drapers. The full-length flex cutterbar delivers consistent stubble height while minimizing dirt buildup, and the leaf spring system provides a featherlight float response for fast adaptation to changing ground conditions.
The FD2 Plus also features MacDon’s proprietary Active Float System, which supports up to 97% of the header’s weight, ensuring smooth header movement with minimal ground pressure.
Built for versatility, the FD2 Plus can easily switch from flex to rigid mode, making it a true multi-crop harvesting solution. With its high-capacity drapers and reliable feed system, it is engineered to handle a wide range of crop types while maintaining top performance.
MacDon’s FD2 Plus promises a new level of productivity and efficiency for farmers looking to maximize every pass through the field, cutting closer, capturing more, and leaving less behind.
