MacDon Enters Deals to Build Draper Headers for Case IH Combines

Case IH has announced a partnership with MacDon Industries Ltd. to manufacture co-branded draper headers designed for Case IH Axial-Flow® combines. The new line of draper headers will be available to order in early 2022 at Case IH Dealers on a worldwide basis, with the exception of South America.

Case IH and MacDon have a shared legacy and goal of making harvesting easier and more productive for North American farmers,” said Scott Harris, Case IH global president, in the Dec. 9 announcement. “By pairing Case IH’s industry-leading portfolio of Axial-Flow combines and a robust dealer network with MacDon’s draper header expertise and products, we aim to deliver a best-in-class harvesting package for producers.”

Based in Manitoba, Canada, MacDon has manufactured high-performance harvesting equipment for more than 70 years. Like Case IH, the company is known for working directly with producers and custom harvesters to make equipment that helps producers efficiently harvest crops and fuel the world.

“Innovating to help producers harvest more of what they grow is a top priority,” said Harris. “We look forward to collaborating with MacDon to offer a high-efficiency draper header-combine solution that raises the bar for harvesting productivity.”

MacDon will still manufacture and distribute its full line of combine draper headers under its own MacDon brand to all its dealers and for all major combine brands. MacDon has historically built equipment under its own brand as well as for other.

Case IH says the new line of draper headers for its Axial-Flow combines will be available to order from Case IH dealers in early 2022. What does this mean for Redline Equipment and its customers? These MacDon headers will now be available at all Redline Equipment dealer locations!
