THE D60 FEEDS A LOT BETTER ACROSS ALL CROPS AND CONDITIONS THAN ANY OTHER DRAPER I’VE USED.
Don Boles is challenged like many other one-combine producers today. While his farm’s acreage has crept up in recent years, available labor has become increasingly scarce, ruling out the feasibility of simply adding a second combine to the mix. Even so, he still prefers to do the work himself and that means getting bigger, more productive equipment to allow him to keep up with his increased workload.
MY GUYS SAY THESE ARE THE BEST MACHINES THAT THEY HAVE EVER OPERATED.
Brad Schnoor was fed up.
The Chowchilla, California, farmer who harvests and custom cuts 3,700 acres of alfalfa, wheat hay and oat hay eight months a year, depends on his four windrowers to keep his operation humming. The problem was his windrowers themselves weren’t humming.
THE FD70 FLEXDRAPER’S ABILITY TO SWITCH FROM FLEX TO RIGID WITH A QUICK MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT HAS ALLOWED SOME CUSTOM CUTTERS WHO USED TO RUN THEIR COMBINES WITH THREE HEADERS – ONE FOR CORN, ONE FOR BEANS AND ONE FOR GRAINS – TO RUN WITH ONLY TWO, SAVING THEM THE PURCHASE AND TRANSPORTATION COSTS OF A THIRD HEADER.
IN ADDITION TO FAST OPERATION IN THE FIELD AND ON HIGHWAYS, M SERIES TRACTORS ALSO SAVE OPERATORS TIME THANKS TO SIMPLIFIED MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS AND SMART DESIGN THAT PROVIDES EASY ACCESS TO MOST SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS.
This time there would be no compromises, no backward compatibility, no need to adapt the tractor to the requirements of older generation headers. All of the energy and focus of MacDon’s engineers could be channeled to achieve one goal: increased productivity – measured in terms of machine and operator performance.
THEY WERE MEASURED AGAINST SIMILAR MACHINES DOING SIMILAR JOBS BY THE AE50’S JUDGES WHO REPRESENT TOP ENGINEERS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE FIELDS. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO KNOW SUPERIOR DESIGN WHEN THEY SEE IT.
EVEN THOUGH WE ARE CUTTING 50% MORE WITH EACH PASS WE ARE TRAVELING AT LEAST ONE MPH FASTER THAN WE WERE BEFORE.
Manitoba Hutterite Colony farms are famous for being highly innovative and successful enterprises.
As such, they are usually first in line when it comes to trying out new farming practices and equipment.
