Subject: RE: Deere VS MacDon flex drapers


Central Ohio
This has a lot to do with what we experienced. The belts are on a much steeper angle than the Mac. Most of the material was slung inward across the cutterbar, not the belts. The split belt was not an issue. As someone said, the belts go so fast, there is no time for a bean to fall through. Tried slowing them down and it does not cut or feed well. Extra wear on belts for poor design. Again, we ran them side by side and you would think that the full flex would cut lower but it does not. If you have severe gulleys or terraces, I do not see how the flex header could flex enough. The Mac will bend that far though. I would like to see a narrower knife section offered on the Mac for some situations.
