2025 AE50 – MacDon FD261 FlexDraper® wins award from ASABE (American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers)
MacDon has been honoured with the prestigious 2025 AE50 award for its outstanding product, the FD261 FlexDraper header. This innovative header has been celebrated for its remarkable engineering and technology advancements. Developed over two years, the FD261 was designed to meet market demand for a wider header than the previous 50-foot FD250 series. This need arose with the introduction of larger class 10+ combines, particularly in regions with lower yields such as Australia and Western Canada.
FD261 FlexDraper®: The Biggest FlexDraper Ever!
The FD261 FlexDraper stands out due to its unique flex frame, which sets it apart from competitors who typically rely on rigid frames. This design ensures a consistent reel-to-cutter bar interaction, leading to superior feeding performance. With its broader configuration and innovative approach, the FD261 stands out as an exceptional product in the agricultural sector, receiving the recognition it truly deserves.
