This design helps increase productivity by ensuring faster, cleaner feeding of crops into the combine, added Lepp.
A major advantage of the FD2 Plus is its flexible cutter bar, which adjusts to uneven or hilly ground conditions. This flexibility ensures a close, consistent cut and helps minimize bean shatter, improving yield quality and reducing field losses. The cutter bar’s ability to hug the ground makes it especially beneficial for soybean harvesting.
Another important feature is the close reel-to-cutter bar relationship, which helps sweep the crop evenly across the belt and into the feeder house. This precision improves feeding efficiency and keeps the harvesting process smooth and uninterrupted.
The MacDon FD2 Plus draper header is perfectly compatible with Case IH’s AF9, AF10, and AF11 series combines, as well as smaller models like the 260 series.
Lepp said that farmers will appreciate how the FD2 Plus maintains excellent ground contact and flexibility, delivering consistent performance even on uneven terrain.
Overall, it offers a combination of power, precision, and adaptability, helping producers achieve more efficient and cleaner harvests.
