Strathcona, mn | Pick your poison…. I’ve been told macdon has the gleaner feeding figured out now. I know for a fact they didn’t when the fd70 came out. The 974 fed a gleaner just fine but had the option of the narrow center belt. I ran an963 rigid head on a gleaner for years cutting wheat and it did great. I have no beefs with macdon as they are a proven quality product. I also own 2 dynaflex heads. They do just fine for me. Yes, they are a flex cutter bar, they will cut and follow contours better than a macdon. A macdon will cut through ditches and terraces better. I can see where a guy can overrun a dynaflex and wreck things being pushy through those situations without letting the machine hydraulics follow through them on the dynaflex. I’vehad a couple of bearing issues, put new belts on, and new cutter bar from use but nothing major that was product faults. I hit a frozen rock cutting through snow 2 years ago and did a number on a cutter bar but no head would have handled that any better. I have no faults with either. We are flat with some rolling ditch bottoms and the dynaflex does fine for me. A 40’ flex bar can only flex so much…. | |
