FD261 FlexDraper®: The Biggest FlexDraper Ever!
At 61 feet wide with 50-inch deep drapers, this is the highest capacity FlexDraper MacDon has ever produced. Compared to our 50-foot FD250, the FD261 gives you an additional 22% of overall capacity.
The FD261 FlexDraper® is a fully flexing 61-foot draper header. The FD261 provides you with 61 feet of true ground following flex, and our close reel-to-cutterbar relationship ensures efficient heads-first crop flow over the entire 61-foot span of the header.
A controlled traffic solution, the 61-foot gathering width is ideal for controlled traffic farming. For everyone else, it’s a MacDon FlexDraper with a 61-foot gathering width!
FOLLOW
A Ground Following Dream.
MacDon’s legendary ground-following ability continues with the FD2. MacDon’s Active Float System gets coupled with up to 70%* more flex for a harvesting experience like never before. Flex-Float Technology® gets turned up with MacDon’s optional ContourMax™ Contour Wheels. These wheels allow the header to follow the field’s contours, leaving a consistent stubble height while cutting from 1 to 18 inches+ off the ground.
+2.5 cm (1”) / 45.7 cm (18”)
*Compared to previous model.
Active Float System
The FD2 gets instant float response with MacDon’s Active Float System. Integrated but independent of the combine’s auto header height control, this simple mechanical system supports up to 97% of the header’s weight, allowing the FD2 to effortlessly float over ground fluctuations. This instant float response lets the FD2 cut extremely close to the ground without pushing dirt, keeping the FD2 flush with the ground delivering a clean, close, even cut every time.
More Flex
With the FD2, you get up to 70% more flex from the one and only FlexDraper®*. The FD2 is a floating three-section flexible header with double and triple reel configurations; this allows the entire header frame, cutterbar, and reel to follow ground contours as a unit, flexing up to 17 inches+ on either end while maintaining a close reel-to-cutterbar relationship. This unique flexing action allows the FD2 to follow the ground and deliver smooth, consistent, heads-first feeding to the combine, even at extreme flex.
+43.2 cm (17”)
*Compared to previous model.
Close Reel-to-Cutterbar Relationship
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®.
Triple Reel
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. Triple reels are optional on 40 foot and standard on 45, 50, and 61 foot FD2 models+.
+12.2 m (40’), 13.7 m (45’), 15.2 m (50’), 18.5 m (61’)
ContourMax™ Contour Wheels
ContourMax™ Contour Wheels allow the header to follow the field’s contours, leaving a consistent stubble height while cutting up to 18 inches off-the-ground. This incredible performance option uses the FD2’s Flex-Float Technology® along with the combine’s auto header height control to its full advantage, conveniently adjusting in-cab and on-the-go for 1 to 18 inches of off-the-ground, ground following harvesting performance+.
+2.5 cm (1”), 5.7 cm (18”)
Multi-Crop Harvesting Solution
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.
FEED
High Volume Heads-First Feeding.
The FD2’s all-new frame features an ultra-deep deck with 50 inch deep drapers and is now available in 25 to 61 foot configurations. The FD2 delivers up to 20%* more capacity of smooth heads-first feeding in the tallest bushiest crops it can get its reel fingers on. No matter what type of combine you mount it to, the FeedMax™ Crop Feeding System optimizes performance. Along with active crop flow, patented reel movement, and new ShatterGuard reel positioning, the FD2 is ready for action+.
+127 cm (50”), 7.6 m (25’) to 18.5 m (61’)

ShatterGuard Reel Positioning
Introducing MacDon’s ShatterGuard Reel Positioning. Using MacDon’s Set-It-Right Multi-Tool, this quick, simple adjustment to the reel comes standard on all FD2 models. ShatterGuard Reel Positioning is designed with tall brittle bushy crops like canola in mind. This adjustment sets the reel further back on the header, preventing shatter on the ground, keeping crop on the drapers where you want it.
FeedMax™ Crop Feeding System
Big, small, new, old, the FeedMax™ Crop Feeding System has an aggressive feeding action and can be custom configured to match any combine’s performance. Featuring combine-tailored speed control and customizable auger flighting to fit any combine’s feeder house opening, the FeedMax Crop Feeding System upgrades and optimizes any combine’s performance.
Full-Length Upper Cross Auger
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®.
EASE

Aluminum Components
From a glance, the most noticeable design cue on the FD2 is the addition of aluminum components. Aluminum features include reel endshields, reel sectors, and backsheets. But these components aren’t just for looking good; they help reduce the overall weight of the header, improving efficiency without compromising strength.
Durability
The MacDon brand always has and always will stand for reliability; that’s what makes MacDon the preferred choice of more custom harvesters and high-volume operations around the world. Engineering rock-solid products is how we ensure this reliability, and the FD2 carries that tradition forward. The FD2 boasts an all-new frame that features a super structured five-sided back tube. This solid backbone creates a durable platform to handle the increased capacity needs from 50 inch deep drapers+.

Clean Sweep Crop Keeper System

- Angled reel fingers and tines on the reel ends.
- Reel endshield crop paddles.
- Reel endshield crop deflectors.
