SE ND
I ran the dynaflex and fd70 side by side this year in some short beans. As far as feeding both worked really well. The macdon has the advantage of always having the reel close to the cutterbar, but I can't say i ever got into a situation where the dynaflex had beans pile up on the cutterbar because it was to far away from the reel. The macdon had better visibility beause it was farther away from the machine with the adaptor in there. Both ran about as smooth as a header can, macdon was only a single cutterbar though. The big advantage to the dynaflex is the belts turn alot faster and are in tune with the speed of the combine. The transport is nice on the macdon for us since we only really need it to put the header in the shed, we have wide roads and are not spread out very far. The dynaflex was really impressive and it will flex more than the macdon because it is a true flex design. I never really played around with adjusting the downpressure on the dynaflex but I think that will also be an advantage to be able to adjust on the go. When it comes time for a different head it will be a tough choice.
