2023 MacDon FD2 Series Flexdraper® 12.5 M

The FD2 FlexDraper® features a fixed reel-to-cutterbar relationship. A small gap between the reel fingers and the cutterbar is maintained at all times, even at extreme flex, ensuring smooth, consistent, heads-first feeding of the crop over the entire length of the FlexDraper®.

Once the crop gets on the drapers, MacDon's Active Crop Flow takes over, swiftly moving the crop heads-first down the side drapers and into the combine's feeder house. Now standard on the FD2, the in-cab side draper speed control allows on-the-go adjustment. Heads-first feeding promotes peak combine efficiency by improving threshing action, creating better straw distribution, and providing an overall more productive fuel-saving harvest. What's more, MacDon's Active Crop Flow is more efficient in damp and moist conditions, meaning you can start earlier and work later into the evening.

The unique movement of the FD2 reel picks up and gently places crops onto the drapers. Our cam design allows the reel fingers to get underneath lodged crop and pick it up before cutting. Aluminum reel ends and sectors help reduce overall weight and improve efficiency. The FD2 header and reel are highly adjustable from the cab for optimal performance. Header tilt control adjusting the draper and knife angle, and fore-aft reel positioning lets you set the FD2 for the most challenging real-world harvesting conditions.

The MacDon FD2 FlexDraper® is a multi-crop harvesting machine. Switch the FD2 easily from a flex to a rigid frame header with the simple flip of a lever, giving you the versatility to move from one crop type to another. Cereals, oilseeds, beans, just about any crop in any condition; another reason why the FD2 is the ultimate performance upgrade for your combine.

The FD2 FlexDraper® fits all major brand combines with a dealer-installed completion package and integrates seamlessly with your combine for the best possible user experience. This multi-brand compatibility and interchangeability mean your investment will hold its value when you decide to update.

New for the FD2 is a triple reel option. Three reel sections now mirror the flexing points of the header, delivering an even closer reel-to-cutterbar relationship for smooth, consistent, heads-first feeding.

A performance option worth considering for anyone harvesting big bushy, high-volume crops, like canola (rapeseed), peas, and mustard, is the Upper Cross Auger. The auger keeps bushy crops on the draper as they move to the center of the header, where twin pitch flighting actively and aggressively drives the crop down onto the feed auger. This option runs the full length of the header and is available on all sizes of the FD2 FlexDraper®.

With today's modern combines, it's all about more capacity, and with the FD2, you get up to 20% more of it. This serious capacity boost comes from an ultra-deep deck featuring 50 inch deep drapers on all FD2 models. These huge drapers perform with ease, cleanly laying down the biggest bushiest high-volume crops, keeping those big combines running smoothly with consistent heads-first feeding. This deeper draper also provides improved cutterbar visibility from the combine.

New for the FD2 is a 50 foot header size; paired with the deeper draper deck, the FD250 delivers the most crop capacity ever offered in a FlexDraper® model+.
