| Don't know how flat your ground is. If you absolutely have to have the flexing wings, the 974 is the oldest model in a true flex draper on the MacDon side. Now if you have pretty flat ground, there were a couple previous models of MacDons built for operating on the ground-the models 972 and 973. They have the lip between the cutterbar and front of the side canvasses so that the canvasses don't fill up with dirt. MacDon did offer what they called "Float Optimizer" so that you could operate them with your combine's AHHC. IIRC, the main difference between a 972 and a 973 was the flotation setup-972s used leaf springs for flotation while the 973 used coil springs like all of the newer MacDons. FWIW, I've got a customer who has used a 973 for cutting soybeans for over 15 years. He's got it hooked up to a 2388 without Field Tracker. He seems to get along fine with it, but his ground is pretty flat. | |
