Harvest acres faster than ever before with a 15.2-m (50-ft) hinged draper built off the proven foundation of the 700D and 700FD Drapers.
Shorten your harvest by taking full advantage of the X Series Combines’ excellent feeding capacity with this hinged draper. This can be the difference between getting the crop out of the field at the ideal time or not. Do so confidently knowing the cutterbar is far less likely to stall compared to the cutterbar system used by competitors, allowing you to enter crop head on without any hesitation.
The John Deere HDR Draper will follow your ground by pivoting, gliding, and flexing over uneven fields to provide the most accurate cut possible.
This draper hinges independently from the feederhouse to meet the lay of the land. The result is an accurate cut that picks up more crop than others, moving it into the feederhouse in an even, uniform feeding, while leaving consistent stubble height in the field.

The goals for a successful harvest are simple – harvest on time and put more grain in the tank. The John Deere HDR Draper is designed to not only harvest more bushels per hour and acres per day but capture more crop.
This list of features helps you capture more crop. While other draper manufacturers would leave grain behind, the only thing you’ll see in the rearview mirror is a field with even stubble and a uniform coating of straw, allowing you to know that during the winter, your field will be ready for next year’s seed.

When you buy John Deere equipment, you expect reliability. You also know that problems can happen, and a product is only as good as the support behind it. That’s why John Deere equipment is prepared with technology that senses potential issues and can alert you and your dealer promptly—in the cab or anywhere you are.
John Deere Connected Support is a revolutionary change to support that leverages technology and the connectivity of JDLink™ telematics to prevent downtime and resolve problems faster. These tools decrease downtime by an average of 20 percent, enabling faster responses to unexpected problems and reducing technician trips to your machine. For some issues, unplanned downtime can even be prevented altogether through prediction of the issue.
With your permission, John Deere Connected Support:
With more than a decade of experience leveraging connectivity to solve problems, no one else has the experience, tools, and knowledge to keep you running as John Deere and your John Deere dealer can. Connected Support is an in-base feature on all John Deere products with factory- or field-installed JDLink.

If producers want to install side knives, side knife ready crop dividers must be ordered to get the gearcase within the crop divider factory installed.

If producers want to install side knives, side knife ready crop dividers must be ordered to get the gearcase within the crop divider factory installed.
The toolless, quick-attach side knives enable operators to convert from cereal dividers to side knives in less than 5 minutes. This is important for operators during times of the year where they are switching between crops throughout the harvest day.
Easily lift down and lodged crops with crop lifters to ensure crop can be picked up by the reel.

Minimize grain loss when straight cutting canola, oil seed, lentils, and peas with a center section seal kit.
Save $330 USD ($465 CAD) a year across 607 ha (1,500 acres) by reducing canola center section losses up to 45 percent with a center section seal kit. Maximize performance in straight-cut canola by pairing the center section seal kit with top augers.
In crops other than canola, oil seed, lentils, and peas (mainly wheat), there is an increased risk of side belt underfeeding pending conditions.
Get smooth, consistent crop feeding without bubbling up, even in high-volume and fluffy crops like canola and field peas. Large-fingered top augers grab and push crop against the draper belts, preventing it from going over the backsheet as it moves to the combine.
Speed control adjustment is located to the left- or the right-side inner gauge wheel sets top auger speed relative to side belts.

Harvest productivity can be maximized as operators no longer have to leave the cab (compared to MacDon) to set cut height with John Deere height control gauge wheels. The operator sets the desired cutting height, and the gauge wheels automatically adjust to maintain the desired cut height, resulting in improved consistency of stubble height by up to 25 percent compared to the MacDon® FD1 Draper.
Stop leaving crop in the field and achieve consistent stubble height behind the combine – an advantage for better seeding performance in no-till applications.
The position of the gauge wheels can be adjusted three different ways:
When producers are cutting off-ground with HDR gauge wheels, the header weight is distributed through the gauge wheels due to more points of contact with the ground. As a result, the weight that would traditionally be carried by the front axle and feederhouse will decrease significantly and be split between the header gauge wheel and the rear axle.
