The FlexxiFloat^™ crop lifter series have a spring-pivot which allows the lifter to follow the fluctuations of the ground, making it ideal for uneven ground conditions.  The FlexxiFloat^™ system is available with three rail options: the standard rail, the high-pivot rail, and the high-pivot MD-2 rail.  The standard rail is generally used with a rigid header, while the high-pivot rail is used with a flex header, with the exception of a few specific makes and models of header and feeder house combinations. The high-pivot MD-2 rail fits the long guard on the MacDon^® FD2 Series FlexDraper^®.

The FlexxiFloat™ 250 is used on taller, heavier foliage crops. Made of sturdy cast metal, this lifter is capable of standing up to the most challenging ground conditions.

Benefits

Usage

Crop Type –some pulses, cereals, rice, oilseed, forage, hemp and other specialty crops

Generally, the recommended spacing is one lifter per foot across the header. Harvesting some row or bedded crops, with lifters mounted to the row or a combination of different Flexxifinger® lifters to maximize recovery have proven beneficial.

** Some or all of these components are made of steel, therefore care must be exercised by the combine operator to minimize possible damage to the header/ combine.**
