Active Float System
The MacDon D65 combine header features a Dual Span (split) Reel. This design allows the reel to operate very closely to the cutting components in short or down and tangled crops even over rough, uneven ground without clipping the fingertips. |
 Combine Interchangeability
Thanks to the FM100, MacDon Draper Headers are designed to fit all major brand combines with an easy-to-install completion package. This multi-brand compatibility and interchangeability mean your investment will hold its value until it's time to update your header. |

Optimized Feeding for Serious Capacity
The feed auger of the FM100 has been engineered to maximize crop feeding. Long (154 mm (6")) tine extension, aggressively engage high volumes of crop. The in-feed crop width can be tailored to match specific combine feeder houses. |
|
 High Capacity Hydraulics
MacDon's new hydraulic system features individual fully filtered circuits for the knife drive, side drapers, and feed draper. These individual circuits provide increased side draper speed, along with greater capacity and reliability. The 1 Series hydraulics make it possible for an optional in-cab side draper speed control, allowing on-the-go adjustment. |
 Amazing Reel Performance
Unlike other headers, the movement of our heavy-duty reel picks up and gently places crop onto the drapers. The reel features a uniquely shaped cam, which allows the fingers to get underneath lodged crop and pick it up before it's cut. Along with the header tilt control, which hydraulically angles the knife from the cab, and fore-aft reel positioning, our headers can reduce, or altogether eliminate, the need for crop lifters.

Active Crop Flow
MacDon's Active Crop Flow gently places crop on the side drapers heads-first and swiftly moves it onto the feed draper, where it's scooped up into the combine's feeder house. Heads-first feeding promotes peak combine efficiency by saving fuel, improving threshing action, creating a better straw distribution, and allowing for a more productive harvest overall. Because this harvesting method is more efficient in damp and moist conditions, you can start earlier and work later into the evening. |
On-The-Go Control
Automatic Header Height controls allow the operator to choose ground pressure, cutting height, and header tilt, all right from the operator's seat. When used with the optional Stabilizer Wheels, it allows for automatic cut heights of 30-560 mm (1-22").

Multi-Crop Harvesting Solution
MacDon’s D1 and FD1 Series headers are true multi-crop harvesting machines able to take down cereals, oilseeds, beans, and just about any crop in any condition. The FD1 FlexDraper® switches easily from flex to a solid frame with the quick flip of a lever, giving you the ultimate flexibility to move from one crop type to another. Any crop, any condition, MacDon Drapers are the ultimate performance upgrade for your combine.
|
A Consistently Close Shave
MacDon’s patented C-shaped, low-profile cutterbar design allows ground level cutting for the most consistently close shave of your fields. Featuring a heavy-duty knife drive and in-cab knife angle control, this cutting system allows you to match any harvest conditions. The ultra-smooth ground-facing surface of our cutterbar helps our headers glide along the ground for a smooth close cut every time.
|
 Aggressive Upper Cross Auger
The optional Upper Cross Auger helps to move heavy, bushy, high-volume crops, like canola and peas, to the center of the header for smooth feeding. Featuring twin pitch flighting at the center of the auger to aggressively drive crop down and into the feed auger of MacDon's FeedMaX system. Available for all header sizes, the upper cross auger is attached in front of the back tube and features a shut-off valve to disengage the drive when not required.

Self-Contained Transport
Our Slow Speed Transport package allows you to tow your D1 and FD1 Series Headers up to 20 mph (32 km/h)*. This option also adds the advantage of spring-loaded stabilizer wheels.
*Always follow local traffic laws and regulations. |
FD1 Flexdraper® - Ground following like never before
Featuring MacDon Flex-Float Technology , FD1 Series FlexDrapers continue to advance harvesting innovation. The flex advantage comes from a fixed reel to cutter bar relationship, which maintains a small gap between the reel fingers and cutter bar, while the Active Float System allows for instant lateral and vertical float response over rolling and uneven terrain. The result of our Flex-Float Technology
Close reel to cutterbar relationship
The MacDon FD1 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 width of the FlexDraper.
Active Float System
MacDon's Active Float System reacts instantly to changing ground conditions. This immediate float response means you can cut extremely close to the ground without pushing soil. Two sets of coil springs on the FM100 Float Module support up to 97% of the header weight. The instant float response provides 4.8 degrees of lateral float and 178 mm (7”) of vertical float, independent of the combine feeder house. Best of all, this is a simple reliable mechanical system requiring only one sensor, so things won't break down when your harvest is on the line. MacDon’s Active Float System keeps our headers true-to-the-ground for a clean, even cut every time.
Reel Performance
Unlike other headers, the movement of our heavy-duty reel picks up and gently places crop onto the drapers. The FD1 reel features 4" finger spacing and a uniquely shaped cam, which allows the fingers to get underneath lodged and low-podding crop to pick it up before it's cut. Along with the header tilt control, which hydraulically angles the knife from the cab and fore-aft reel positioning, our headers can be adjusted for the toughest harvesting challenges.
True Ground Following
The MacDon FD1 FlexDraper is a floating, three-section flexible header with a split reel. This allows the entire header frame, cutterbar, and reel to follow ground contours as a unit, flexing up to 254 mm (10") on either end, while maintaining a close reel to cutterbar relationship. This unique three-section design lets the FD1 FlexDraper deliver smooth, consistent, head-first feeding to the combine, even at extreme flex. |
