Subject: RE: Macdon vs. jd draper


NW TN, Dyersburg
This is my second yr with a 30' FD75-S Macdon, I traded in a 630 Hydraflex, I know this isn't apples to apples but the difference in performance is amazing. The Macdon is a very good header, only negatives I know of; its heavy (but I'm told the Deere draper is lots heavier), changing guards &/or sections is more of a pain (slower) than on the Deere & I've had the cutter bar to stop when cutting crossways (90*) to the rows (all sections hit a stalk simultaneously). Overall, it's a very impressive header. I have a friend that's on his 4th or 5th yr with a Macdon, for the last 5 days he's had a demo S680 with a Deere draper, he liked the combine but says he wouldn't have the header, says it's not even close to the Macdon in performance. There are lots of Macdons in this area.
