  • In 30 minutes or less, you can switch from a rotary head to a 500D Draper head, which means you can harvest small grains and hay with one traction unit.
  • Quick-change reel teeth can be removed and replaced with minimal effort and tools. Then it’s back to cutting.
  • Fully integrated controls to the draper means no need for a secondary control box.

    The draper hydraulic pump control maintains knife, belt, and reel speeds regardless of engine rpm changes.

    • Results in uniform cut quality and windrow formation regardless of the terrain or engine load
    • Reduces crop loss or shatter
  • Higher productivity with center-driven belts

    • Draper belts on the 500D are driven from the center of the platform
      • Delivers increased belt performance compared to drapers with end-driven belts

    Motor driving the right-hand belt Motor driving the right-hand belt

    Due to the motors pulling the belt (instead of pushing in an end drive system), there is less slack in the belt. This delivers an increase in belt torque.

     

    As a result, producers will experience minimal belt slippage and increased performance in heavy crop conditions due to the center-driven belt system.

    • Larger windrows to match combine or self-propelled forage harvester
    • Match narrower-width drapers with higher-capacity harvesting
    • Place higher-density windrows in front of harvesters when yields are low
    • Discharge two windrows side by side for uniform combine or forage harvester feeding
