THE ULTIMATE IN DRAPER PERFORMANCE
The MacDon D65 Draper Header is designed to deliver outstanding straight cut performance, especially when faced with tough harvesting conditions. Low podding, downed, tangled, or even lodged crops; whatever the harvesting situation the MacDon D65 Draper Header excels. Combining or swathing, the D65 is a true multi-crop harvesting solution. This “Can Do” attitude delivered with MacDon reliability and performance, is the reason why MacDon Draper Headers are a great fit for so many of today’s operations.
SMOOTH, CONSISTENT, HEADS-FIRST FEEDING. IT’S WHAT SETS OUR MACHINES APPART.
MacDon 5 Series Drapers are designed to provide smooth, consistent headsfirst feeding to the combine, even in the most challenging harvest conditions. Feeding crop heads-first is the best way to get the most performance out of your combine – burning less fuel and taking less time to process means getting the crop off quicker and more efficiently. HERE’S HOW WE DO IT…
- Close Reel to Cutterbar Relationship – The MacDon D65 features a fixed cutterbar to reel relationship. A small critical gap between the reel fingers and the cutterbar is maintained at all times, even in rough field conditions, ensuring smooth feeding of the crop over the entire width of the MacDon D65 Header.
- Active Float System – The CA25 works with the auto-header-height-control of the combine which allows for instant float-response over changing ground conditions. Coil springs mechanically provide lateral and vertical float of the header, independent of the combine feeder house which allows the D65 to float over rolling and uneven terrain.
- Reel Performance – The MacDon reel offers 4 adjustable cam positions, allowing you to select the setting that best suits your harvest conditions. Positions 1 and 2 are for fair harvest conditions with ripe standing crop and no green weeds or undergrowth. Positions 3 and 4 allow you to put the reel in front of and below the cutterbar for lifting downed and low podding crop. You can also use the header tilt and fore-aft reel positioning for even more aggressive action when required.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS:
- The D65 can be used for direct cutting on most current combines (with MacDon’s CA25 Combine Adapter), as well as swathing canola, forage, and other specialty crops with MacDon 5 Series Windrowers.
- The reel is easily adjustable to one of 4 cam positions to match harvest conditions.
- Hydraulically adjusted reel fore-aft and header tilt functions allow easy, on-the-go changes for harvesting conditions.
- The C-shaped cutterbar promotes smoother crop flow with one of the industry’s shortest transitions from cutterbar to the draper. Even in shatter-prone crops, it maintains a tight draper to cutterbar seal for better harvest performance.
- Featuring the proven durability of the MacDon wobble box drive, the hydraulic knife drive enables adjustments to the sickle speed based on specific harvesting conditions.
- Spare knife storage is now provided on 40’ (12.2m) and 45’ (13.7m) double knife headers.
- Improved hydraulics with knife reverser and more precise draper speed control.
