weve ran mac's for 8 years now and no they are not expensive to keep up.. as long as you keep them adjusted.. the fd70 model is alot better typically you can set it and be fine threw the year.. the sections will handle 2-3'000 acres where it seemed like the 1020 heads sections would need changed about after 1,000 acres

They hydraulic driven cutterbar is nice.. i hit a ground rod one time with a 1020 head and it wrecked the head... hit one with the draper last year and didn't even break the section lol... sure liked that.. the guards are well made and not a issue.. only broken or messed up a couple in all that time..

Don't really know what else to tell ya.. except you will really like them..especially in a year like this with short beans... drapers will pay for themselves in bad years...
